Bishop Painting – Sexton’s House

KEY WEST, FL— The College of the Florida Keys continues its 2022 VIP Series with “Writing About Key West.” The presentation, led by poet, author, and CFK English faculty member Dr. Emily Weekley is on Tuesday, March 29 at 7 p.m. in the Tennessee Williams Theatre on the Key West Campus. In its eighth season, the College’s VIP Series invites the community to learn from the Visions, Ideas, and Perspectives of speakers of local, regional, and national prominence. The 2022 season, sponsored by Centennial Bank, includes presentations that focus on timely and relevant topics.

Most people are inspired by where they live, but this is especially true in Key West. This lecture will discuss what it is about such a place that inspires narrative, tone, and imagery, as well as some of the challenges one encounters when writing about Key West. Join Dr. Emily Weekley, poet, author, and CFK English faculty, to consider what the benefits and dangers are of writing about place, as well as how a writer might get started in writing regionally.

Tickets for CFK’s VIP Series events are $5 at the door. Admission is free for students at CFK and Monroe County schools. For more information, call CFK at 305-296-9081 or visit the College’s website at CFK.edu/VIP.
