For the entire month of April- find Poetry Everywhere!
Fom the air, on your body, at a pop up, upon a soapbox... O, Miami hits our streets.
From "That's So Miami" to poetry on lamp-posts to dance & poetry to
a Miami Literary Trivia Night to poetry films to a flash mob....to Miami's first poetry Parade.
Mark your calendar-
April 1-30 words will take many forms, from the most unexpected places!
What is planned is not a series of dry poetry readings.
The entire month of April will be devoted to poetry in motion, in action, in touch-
bringing forth words in all forms.
