Alex Fumero - Hialeah Hiakus - Gables
Forget hip-hop mixtapes. The Magic City hustlers over at Foryoucansee will be
hocking poetry from the back of their Japanese hatchbacks. But first,
Books & Books in Coral Gables is taking a risk, and giving them a
shot to do it legit one more time. This is the official release of the
second printing of Hialeah Haikus, a collection of the Jpanese-style, 5-7-5 syllable structure poems, infused with an unmistakable Miamie flavor. A daring a ttendee will enjoy a Q&A session that will have you saying, "****!" Or just in Espanol. 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 Monslave, Alex Nodarse, Elena Santayana, and local celebrity, Jose El Rey. Original photography in the book by Mathew Berkowitz.
