Each fall, Miami Book Fair invites the authors and translators of 50 National Book Award longlisted titles to gather in Miami following the National Book Awards Ceremony in New York. Join the 2026 National Book Award honorees in Poetry read from and discuss their books and answer your questions about writing, reading, and recognition. Moderated by Ruth Dickey, executive director of the National Book Foundation.
Featured authors: In Hide: Poems, Carolina Ebeid blurs dream and reality as she explores her Palestinian and Cuban heritage amidst a backdrop of film and dissolved borders. Susan Stewart’s Bramble is lyric poetry orbiting around the duality of thorns: painful, but impossible to hold beauty without.
