Miami Beach, FL – November, 22, 2014 – It was a total literary takeover last week at The Standard as Miami Book Fair International hosted an author and poetry party in light of the fair being in town. The evening kicked off with the Author Party where some of the best and brightest literary minds around mixed and mingled under the swaying lights with cocktails in hand. Later in the evening, the crowd made their way inside for The Poetry Takeover with The Poetry Foundation, where the authors were given a chance for their cutting-edge voices to be heard.
