O, Miami Poetry Festival

The monthlong poetry festival displays words on every possible surface: painted onto rooftops, outlined into the sand, printed onto parking tickets and pasted across buses. The mission is to put a poem, sourced throughout the year from local writers, in front of every Miamian, whether we ask for it or not. Check the festival website for information on activations and unique events, like a drag poetry slam, Wish-a-Poem magic genie lamps at participating public libraries and this weekend's annual Poetry in Pajamas, an adorable open mic for Miami's youngest wordsmiths. At various venues
