There is much more to the “Florida Man” meme than a punchline!
Local poet Tyler Gillespie’s innovative collection FLORIDA MAN: POEMS, strips away the accepted myths of his home state and its inhabitants in poems centered on Florida’s history and culture.
Now in this second, extended edition of his collection, FLORIDA MAN: POEMS, REVISITED, Gillespie uses a lyric mix of journalism, science, family lore, and lived experience to reveal complex realities of the state and a redemption that’s wondrously messy and surprising.
The event will include a reading by Tyler followed by a conversation with Chad Mize and Gloria Muñoz about art, writing, and upcoming projects!
