William May, a rising star in contemporary poetry, announces the release of his highly anticipated debut chapbook, Blaze Without Burning, published by Finishing Line Press and officially out now. This innovative collection explores themes of resilience, transformation, and human connection through paired "twin" poems that invite readers into a dynamic, layered experience.
To celebrate the release, William May will appear in person for a special Book Signing and Live Q&A event on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, at Midtown Reader, 1123 Thomasville Rd, Tallahassee, FL 32303. Fans and poetry lovers are invited to meet the author, purchase signed copies of Blaze Without Burning, and engage in a lively conversation about the creative process behind the chapbook.
May’s work is deeply personal, shaped by his journey as a Neurodiverse writer diagnosed at age seven. His poetry pairs twin poems with the same title but distinct perspectives, creating a layered exploration of experience and meaning. The chapbook has already garnered attention for its innovative structure and emotional depth.

Sit in on our open rehearsals at Ruby Diamond Concert Hall to observe the process that brings our concerts to life. Open rehearsals are especially great for those who prefer a daytime event or just want to drop in and enjoy some great music!

We welcome music lovers of all ages to join us at these casual, free events.
