30 Books by Florida Authors Affected by Hurricane Irma

30 Books by Florida Authors Affected by Hurricane Irma Hurricane Irma made landfall over South Florida on Sunday, September 10th. The devastation left in the storms wake caused the state to go dark. The millions affectedby power outages, storm damage, and floodinginclude some of my friends, teachers, and favorite Florida authors. Some of these authors stayed to weather the storm. Others watched from afar as loved ones desperately tried to evacuate  and homes were damaged or destroyed. Two, Chantel Acevedo and M. Evelina Galang, missed their book launches because of Hurricane Irma. But there  is something we can do to help. The best way to support authors is to buy their books. Consider buying one or two (or all 30!) of these authors books to help pick Florida up after Hurricane Irma. *All descriptions were borrowed from Goodreads.

The Well-Dressed Bear Will (Never) Be Found by Jarod Roselló There is a bear loose in the city. He is violent and unpredictable. A menace. If you see this bear, please contact the authorities.

These are stories hell-bent on hope. We Cant Help It If Were From Florida: New Stories from a Sinking Peninsula by Shane Hinton (Editor) Florida is more than just fodder for hard-boiled crime novels and zany farces. This anthology of new stories and essays challenges a star-studded line up of current and former Floridians to write about the state through a literary lens, though not without the requisite weirdness. The Florida within this book contains: lightning, oil spills, road rage, a lizard tied to a balloon, swimmers, sleepwalkers, characters that love Florida, characters that hate Florida, and at least three sinkholes. The Clairvoyants by Karen Brown On the family homestead by the sea where she grew up, Martha Mary saw ghosts. As a young woman, she hopes to distance herself from those spirits by escaping to an inland college town. There, she is absorbed by a budding romance, relieved by separation from an unstable sister, and disinterested in the flyers seeking information about a young woman who’s disappearedâ€"until one Indian summer afternoon when the missing woman appears beneath Martha’s apartment window, wearing a down coat, her hair coated with ice.

In 1953, he gave her a radioactive cocktail without her consent as part of a secret government study that had horrible consequences.  Marylou has been plotting her revenge for fifty years. When she accidentally discovers his whereabouts in Florida, her plans finally snap into action. Perfume River  by Robert Olen Butler From one of America’s most important writers,  Perfume River  is an exquisite novel that examines family ties and the legacy of the Vietnam War through the portrait of a single North Florida family. Robert Quinlan is a seventy-year-old historian, teaching at Florida State University, where his wife Darla is also tenured. Their marriage, forged in the fervor of anti-Vietnam-war protests, now bears the fractures of time, both personal and historical, with the couple trapped in an existence of morning coffee and solitary jogging and separate offices. Arcadia by Lauren Groff In the fields and forests of western New York State in the late 1960s, several dozen idealists set out to live off the land, founding what becomes a famous commune centered on the grounds of a decaying mansion called Arcadia House.  Arcadia  follows this lyrical, rollicking, tragic, and exquisite utopian dream from its hopeful start through its heyday and after. The story is told from the point of view of Bit, a fascinating character and the first child born in  Arcadia. This is my personal favorite novel of hers. Nonfiction by Florida Authors Talk Thai: The Adventures of Buddhist Boy by Ira Sukrungruang On one side of the door, the rich smell of sweet, spicy food and the calm of Buddhist devotion; on the other, the strangeness of a new land. Honestly, Ira has been one of my favorite nonfiction writers ever since I heard him read in undergrad. Hes one of those writers that deserves a little (okay, a lot of) fame. Lolas House: Filipino Women Living with War by M. Evelina Galang Lolas’ House  tells the stories, in unprecedented detail, of sixteen surviving Filipino “comfort women.” During World War II more than 1,000 Filipino women and girls were kidnapped by the Imperial Japanese Army. They were taken from their homes, snatched from roadsides, and chased down in fields. Overall the Japanese forced 400,000 women across Asia into sexual slavery. M. Evelina Galang began researching these stories in the 1990s as 173 lolas, “grannies” in Tagalog, emerged after decades of shame and silence to demand recognition and justice from the Japanese government. Sunshine State by Sarah Gerard In the collection’s title essay, Gerard volunteers at the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary, a world renowned bird refuge. There she meets its founder, who once modeled with a pelican on his arm for a Dewar’s Scotch campaign but has since declined into a pit of fraud and madness. He becomes our embezzling protagonist whose tales about the birds he “rescues” never quite add up. Poetry by Florida Authors The Trouble with Humpadori by Vidhu Aggarwal Readers follows the progress of Hump (a.k.a. Humpadori, Hum, Om) a racialized, monstrous, performing entity that morphs across genders and commodity forms. Structured as a set of slapstick theatrical acts borrowing from American comedy routines and minstrel traditions, the book moves from lyric intimacy to predatory rage, examining the textures of feeling available to marginalized bodies in a globalized world. Big-Eyed Afraid by Erica Dawson Big-Eyed Afraid is a fast-paced, breathlessly witty and illuminating riff on the multiple effects of race, sex, biology and social pressure on who we are and how we see ourselves. Dawsons dazzling rhymes, her perfect pitch for an array of idioms ranging from the smutty to the sacred, and her extraordinary combination of metrical control and jazz-like syntactical elaboration make her work feel at one and the same time chiseled and improvised, traditional and utterly distinct. Alan Shapiro 90 Miles: Selected And New Poems by  Virgil Suarez Ninety miles separate Cuba and Key West, Florida. Crossing that distance, thousands of Cubans have lost their lives. For Cuban American poet Virgil Suárez, that expanse of ocean represents the state of exile, which he has imaginatively bridged in over two decades of compelling poetry. Scald by Denise Duhamel When her “smart” phone keeps asking her to autocorrect her name to Denise Richards, Denise Duhamel begins a journey that takes on celebrity, sex, reproduction, and religion with her characteristic wit and insight. The poems in  Scald  engage feminism in two waysâ€"committing to and battling withâ€"various principles and beliefs. Florida Poems by Campbell McGrath Moving effortlessly from prehistory to the space age, he catalogues Floridas natural wonders and historical figureheads, from Ponce de León to Walt Disney, William Bartram to Chuck E. Cheese the bewhiskered Mephistopheles of ring toss,/the diabolical vampire of our transcendent ideals.' Body Switch by Terri Witek A collection of personal, tragic, and wildly experimental poems that, to quote Erica Dawson, shapeshift before our eyes.' Special thanks to Terri for helping me compile this list. You can also check out her other books, Exit Island and Shipwreck Dress for more Floridian flavor. On the Street of Divine Love by Barbara Hamby Perhaps Paul Kareem Taylor said it best in his piece called  On the Road Again: Barbara Hambys American Odyssey: Reading Barbara Hambys poetry is like going on a road trip, one where the woman behind the wheel lets you ride shotgun as she speeds across the open highways of an America where drive-in movie theaters still show Janet Leigh films on Friday nights, hardware stores have not been driven out of business by soulless corporate titans, and where long poetic lines first introduced by Walt Whitman and resurrected by Ginsberg are pregnant with a thousand reasons to marvel at the world we inhabit.' Get Up, Please: Poems by David Kirby In comical and complex poems, David Kirby examines our extraordinarily human condition through the lens of our ordinary daily lives. These keenly observant poems range from the streets of India, Russia, Turkey, and Port Arthur, Texas, to the imaginations of fellow poets Keats and Rilke, and to ruminations on the mundane side of life via the imperfect sandwich. Mud Song by Terry Ann Thaxton A landscape of pine forests, palmettos, gopher tortoises and armadillos contains the clues that guide Terry Ann Thaxton s search for herself. As a fifth-generation Floridian, she knows, however, that the natural world is never more than a stone s throw away from its destruction. The path she follows takes her to the edge of the past s sinkholes and the daily chaos of roads forever under construction. These poems make sharp turns. Trauma is never far from beauty, desire never far from fear, and images are often as surprising as they are stunning. The Abridged History of Rainfall by Jay Hopler Jay Hoplers second collection, a mourning song for his father, is an elegy of uproar, a careening hymn to disaster and its aftermath. In lyric poems by turns droll and desolate, Hopler documents the struggle to live in the face of great loss, a task that sends him ranging through Floridas torrid subtropics, the mountains of the American West, the streets of Rome, and the Umbrian countryside. Slant Six by Erin Belieu Belieu oscillates between dark humor, self-consciousness, and pointed satire in a fourth collection that’s equal-opportunity in its critique. In the world of these poems, no one is innocent; everyone is confined to the complexity, absurdity, and, above all, fallibility of their human condition…. Anchoring the work is a conversational, lyrical speaker willing to implicate herself as part of the political and social constructs she criticizes, as when she depicts a Southern American culture still reeling from its history of social injustice  Publishers Weekly via Goodreads.
