The monthlong, 13th-annual 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 pulp paper-making demonstrations using recycled festival tote bags, a Pastelitos y Poesía writing workshop at the iconic Versailles Restaurant, and a guided writing session that incorporates two types of spirits—alcoholic and spectral—at the historic Deering Estate. At various venues
