Damon Thomas is a sixth-generation Floridian who grew up on the banks

of the Suwannee in rural Dixie County, FL. Here he experienced a

Southernness that included sea monsters, swamp cabbage, and makeshift

graves. Damon writes short “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead”-like

pieces that describe how the bookish might pass time in a Southern

Gothic setting.

We are pleased that Thomas will read at the Jax by Jax Literary Arts Festival in the weekend of October 17-18, 2020.

JaxbyJax Literary Arts Festival VII is a celebration of Jacksonville Writers Writing Jacksonville. Generous sponsors include Baptist Health, Chamblins Uptown & Bookmine, Delegal & Poindexter, PA; Scribbles, and Brad Kuhn & Associates, LLC.

The 2020 festival will take the form of a documentary video, with watch parties at noon on Saturday, October 17th and 7 p.m. on Sunday, October 18th. For details, see jaxbyjax.com.
