Hi,
I was reading about the Miami Book Fair on LitHub today when I realized it's sponsored by my old alma mater, Miami-Dade College. I graduated in 1968 from the south campus, when M-D was still known as M-D Junior College. I thought you might be interested in knowing that a M-D graduate has gone on to achieve some substantial degree of literary publication, success and international recognition in a number of fields, including haiku/haibun/lyrical and political poetry/criticism/essay/memoir etc. .
Perhaps the quickest and most convenient way I can present my story is via the website of the small Ontario (Canada) village where I've resided for almost 30 years:

Of course there's lots more info about my literary activities on the web, including from my blog, "riffs and ripples from zenriver gardens":

Best wishes for another successful Miami Bookfair. It would be fun to be there, but I haven't considered travelling to the U.S. since the paranoia of the 9/11 era. As a VN War draft resisting foreign born national, I feel it's especially unsafe to visit Miami, where I went through grade school on Key Biscayne and college at M-D.
peace,
