Nick Muska has taken nearly 30 years of winter travels to Florida and Jamaica and turned the experiences into poetry.
He will read at Gathered Art Gallery and Studios, 23 N. Huron St. in Downtown Toledo at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 25.
Muska’s poem, “28 Sunsets and 3 All Night Taxi Rides,” is a sequential poem depicting every sunset in February and will be one of many featured at the upcoming event.
This February will mark the 30th year Muska has traveled to Florida and Jamaica to work on his collection of carefully selected poems.
“I would stay between two andfive weeks and write a journal every morning,” Muska said. “In the evenings I would go to my favorite spot on the beach and write poems inspired by my surroundings. After nearly three decades of visiting Jamaica and Florida I had quite a lot of poems to work with in putting together my book.”
