The University of Wynwood is proud to participate in the Fall for the Arts Festival at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts. We'll have a table set up in conjunction with the Miami Poetry Collective where we'll be giving away original poems to members of the Lady Python Nation and anyone else who signs up for our alumni newsletter. Stop by and say hi on your way to the Rebirth Brass Band and Ozomatli.

The fall semester at the University of Wynwood begins with visiting poets Honor Moore and Joanna Klink on Tuesday, September 14. Moore and Klink will read from their work beginning at 8 p.m., followed by a Q&A and book signing. The Lido Lounge will then expand into an open salon. Drinks will be available for purchase for those 21+.

The event is free. Valet parking will be subsidized by The Standard and University of Wynwood at the discounted rate of $3. Funding for the University of Wynwood Visiting Poets Series is provided by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. The book signing is generously provided by Books & Books, Miami's premier independent book seller.

HONOR MOORE is the author of three collections of poems, in addition to being an award-winning playwright, memoirist, editor, and critic. Her 2008 memoir, The Bishop’s Daughter, was named an Editor's Choice by the New York Times, a "Favorite Book of 2008" by the Los Angeles Times and was chosen by the National Book Critics Circle as part of their "Good Reads" recommended reading list. It was also a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award. Moore has received awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, The New York State Council for the Arts and the Connecticut Commission for the Arts, in addition to receiving a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2004 for non-fiction. She lives in New York and teaches in the graduate writing programs at the New School.

JOANNA KLINK is the author of three books of poetry: They Are Sleeping, Circadian, and Raptus, just out from Penguin. Her poems have been published in literary journals and magazines including Chicago Review and Boston Review. She received an M.F.A. in poetry from the Iowa Writers' Workshop and now teaches on the poetry faculty at the University of Montana. Her work-in-progress is a lyric book on Paul Celan called Strangeness. The recipient of a Rona Jaffe Foundation Writers’ Award, she is currently on leave as the Briggs-Copeland Poet at Harvard.

The fall semester at the University of Wynwood continues with visiting essayist John D’Agata. D’Agata will read from his new book About a Mountain (Norton, 2010), a lyric investigation into the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste disposal program and the suicide of Levi Presley, a Las Vegas teenager who jumped from the top of the Stratsophere Hotel and Casino in 2002. The reading, part of Locust Projects Skill Share series of artist talks, will include an extended Q&A and a book signing provided by Books & Books.
