Miami, 1981

O, Miami 2015

Monday, April 27 2015

7:00 PM-9:00 PM

Join O, Miami, The Kampong, and edible South Florida magazine as travel back in time to 1981.

In the wake of the McDuffie riots and the Mariel boat lift, Miami had the highest murder rate in its history, leading to TIME magazine’s infamous “Paradise Lost” feature story. But beneath the headlines, the seeds of Miami’s cultural revolution were being planted by a small but dedicated group of writers who were meeting regularly in a tiny Coral Gables bookshop called Books & Books.

We’ll celebrate the poetry from 1981’s Miami with a reading curated by Michael Hettich and enjoy 1981-themed food & cocktails curated by edible South Florida. You don’t HAVE to dress in 1981 period clothing, but it would be a lot cooler if you did.
