Poetry Invades Miami

On April 1, the city of Miami will be invaded by poetry.

According to omiami.org, “O, Miami is a month long series of events and projects with the simple goal of every person in Miami Dade County finding a poem.”

Events will take place throughout the city at all sorts of locations, from downtown clubs, to outdoor park readings, to record shops, concluding with a special reading by the United States Poet Laureate at the New World Center, 500 17th Street.

A variety of poets will be reading their work; among them is Oscar-nominated actor James Franco. Franco will be reading his poems in a session entitled “Poetry and Persona” on April 29, at 7:30pm at the New World Center.
