JaxbyJax Literary Arts Festival VII is grateful for the continued sponsorship of Chamblin’s Uptown & Bookmine. The generosity of Ron Chamblin allows the support of the work of Jacksonville Writers Writing Jacksonville through honorariums paid to the selected writer/readers. It also goes toward producing the 2020 documentary video. THANK YOU!
Sarah Crooks is a multidisciplinary eco feminist artist/educator. Home is Here Along Red Pearl River is her first published book, funded in part by a grant from the FL Division of Cultural Affairs and an Art Ventures Grant from The Community Foundation of NE Florida. The work takes a deep look at the culture of colonization that arrived on our shores of North Florida and creates a new narrative of belonging based on partnership with, rather than dominance over, the living world.
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.

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.
