Happy Hour with the Historian – The Thing About Florida Man: Poems Revisited
October 8 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Since Florida’s discovery, our state and its inhabitants have been the inspiration for a great deal of art, whether visual, musical, or written.
Join us October 8 for Happy Hour with a Historian featuring Dr. Tyler Gillespie, where he’ll discuss how life as a 5th-generation Floridian influenced his writing.
Gillespie is an award-winning journalist and author of The Thing about Florida: Exploring a Misunderstood State and Florida Man: Poems, Revisited.
Gillespie currently teaches at Ringling College of Art and Design, where he is the Writing Program Coordinator.
