Brad Kuhn Reads from Dirty Work at JaxbyJax

JaxbyJax welcomes Brad Kuhn, co-director and sponsor of the literary arts festival, to read from his latest book, Dirty Work, written with the late Richard Vaux. You can check the venues and times for all the JaxbyJax authors here. And you can pick up copies of the JaxbyJax writers’ books at Chamblin’s Uptown Bookstore, 215 N. Laura Street.

Brad Kuhn wasn’t born in Jacksonville, but he has taken to it like a spoonbill to mud minnows. It was here, after 56 trips round the sun, that he realized his life-long dream of living on the water (and his more recent dream of having his own tiki bar in the backyard). When he’s not wasting away in MAGA-skeeter-ville, he spends his time rage-tweeting the president and eking out a living as a full-time writer. He is a founding director of the Jack Kerouac Writers in Residence Project of Orlando, and has received the Thomas Burnett Swann/Gwendolyn Brooks Prize for Poetry, the Green Eyeshade for Investigative Reporting, a Royal Palm Literary Award from the Florida Writers Association, and several awards for excellence from the Florida Magazine Association. This is his first time reading at Jax by Jax.

JaxbyJax Welcomes Howard Denson

Come out on Saturday, November 16th to hear 31 Jacksonville writers writing Jacksonville, as well as over 20 student writers reading their work. This includes the return of Howard Denson!

Howard Denson, a 50-year resident of Jacksonville, quit being a “flunky journalist” for The Pensacola News Journal, Tallahassee Democrat, and The Birmingham News because he wanted to write stuff that might be read a year or decades later. He spent 38.5 years as a humanities-English instructor for Florida State College. As an indie author of about 15 books, he has written novels (mysteries, fantasies, SF, and regular fiction), humor (fables and parables), political commentary in The Wild-Eyed Moderate series, etc. He and spouse of 43 years, Michele Boyette, have 11 four-legged children who meow and bark.
