Each spring, the Florida Center for the Literary Arts unveils its increasingly ambitious Writer's Institute, which allows a select few aspiring scribes to workshop with some of the world's wisest wordslingers. Although the workshops themselves sold out almost the minute they were announced, the lunchtime readings are still free and open to all. Today's event features Nick Flynn (Another Bullshit Night in Suck City), T. Cooper (Lipshitz Six, or Two Angry Blondes), Kevin Young (For the Confederate Dead), and Connie May Fowler (The Problem with Murmur Lee). The latter's Northern Florida works are the best thing to come down the pike since fried green tomatoes. Just ask Ellen Barkin.
