Tigertail, A South Florida Annual: Florida Flash
Book Launch and Reading
Monday, October 17, 2011, 8:00 pm, free admission
Books & Books
265 Aragon Avenue, Coral Gables
The ninth edition of Tigertail's annual poetry publication, edited by Lynne Barrett moves into prose to explore the edges and overlaps between lyrical and narrative approaches. Fifty-four authors with connections to Florida contribute prose poetry, flash fiction, and flash nonfiction. For each piece, editor Lynne Barrett set a maximum word count of 305—a number representing the original South Florida area code as well as the limits of a single page—and the result is an exuberant collection that captures both scintillant moments and the faceted turnings of memory. The cover image shown here is by Miami artist Brian Reedy. Call Tigertail today to purchase the book: 305 324 4337.

The Cabinet of Dr. Strange is a video sound performance created for an urban environment by this noted Brazilian composer and inventor of urban sound events.

Performed from inside a cage, Dr. Strange establishes a special relationship with the audience by using an open mike. He then processes these sounds within seconds. The piece establishes a dialogue of humor, irony and surprise.
