Join UofW for the official release of the second printing of Hialeah Haikus, a collection of the Japanese-style, 5-7-5 syllable structure poems, infused with an unmistakable Miami flavor.
A daring attendee will enjoy a reading of several select haikus by the authors themselves, intertwined with a Q&A session led by University of Wynwood that will have you saying, “****!” Or just “¡**!” in Español. The event is free. The book is $10. And proceeds from the book sales will benefit the non-for-profit sponsoring all this madness: Artes Miami/Editorial Ultramar.
Foryoucansee was founded by Alex Fumero, Lucas Leyva, and Marco Ramirez—three young artists with a passion for creating native work. This time they stand on the shoulders of giants, fellow authors: Eric Anderson, Ceci Fernandez, Danny Monsalve, Alex Nodarse, Elena Santayana, and local celebrity, Jose El Rey. Original photography in the book by Matthew Berkowitz.
