Guest Writer Chenjerai Hove kicks off Banned Books Week in Miami

Miami's ICORN Guest Writer Chenjerai Hove gets Books&Books off to an early start on Banned Books Week (BBW ) with a reading from his book of poetry Blind Moon, and a talk on his plight as a censored writer in Zimbabwe. BBW begins Sept. 25, but this event will take place on Sept. 15, 8 pm, at the Gables Store, and will also feature the unveiling of the store's display of censored books.

BBW is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read and the importance of the First Amendment. Held during the last week of September, Banned Books Week highlights the benefits of free and open access to information while drawing attention to the harms of censorship by spotlighting actual or attempted bannings of books across the United States.
