Pairing Francisco reading from his Miami-suffused newish book on Burrow Press, A Sinking Ship Is Still A Ship, with voice/piano pieces by local composers from Central Florida Composers Forum – including Bob Walker Jr, Rebekah Todia, Keith Lay, Charlie Griffin and Erik Branch – written with the words on these very pages in mind, this will surely be a very unique and Florida-centric event. Feel free to pick Francisco’s brain during the Q&A afterwards.
Booklist praises Sinking as a “shimmering second collection of poetry [depicting] South Florida as hopelessly doomed, in all its pre-apocalyptic glory.” We’re feeling the same about the whole state of Florida right about now, so, perfect.
A Sinking Ship Is Still A Ship happens Tuesday, Nov. 17, at 7:30 p.m. There are a very limited number of in-person tickets available for purchase and – great news – this event can also be viewed as a ticketed livestream on Timucua’s website.
