About this Event
Join us for an intimate and inspiring evening celebrating Jacksonville native Carmen Anderson and the release of her debut poetry collection, Slow Dancing in Quicksand: A Memoir in Illusion, Mourning, and Becoming.
This special gathering brings together community, conversation, and creativity as we honor a powerful new voice in contemporary poetry.
From 8PM-12AM on Saturday, March 21, guests will enjoy a warm welcome reception, a moderated Q&A with the author, and a book‑signing experience that invites deeper connection with the stories behind the work.
Whether you’re a lover of poetry, a supporter of local authors, or simply seeking an enriching night out, this event offers a meaningful space to engage, reflect, and celebrate.
