New Faces
In previous years' Seminars, attendees tended to skew older, with a pretty
meager smattering of under-30s. With New Voices as a theme this year
and a healthy scholarship program there's a big influx of younger
attendees and tons of fresh energy, both onstage and in the audience.
26 year old Mike Cook here is a writer and blogger from Baltimore. Mike
heard about the Seminar from a couple who are regulars at the bar where
he works. When he told them he was a writer they said they'd just come
back from last year's Seminar, that this year's theme was New Voices
and that he should definitely come. A year later here he is. Check out
his blog at literatureisnotdead.com.
The journal of the Key West Literary Seminar features recordings from our
audio archives, exclusive interviews, essays, news about the Seminar, and
dispatches from Key West's literary past and present. It is created by Arlo
Haskell. Send email to arlo [at] kwls [dot] org
Each January, we explore a different literary theme through lectures, panel presentations, readings, informal gatherings, and discussions. In January 2011, we explore food in literature with our 29th annual Seminar, THE HUNGRY MUSE.
