O, Miami is a community-based poetry festival in Miami-Dade, Florida. Established in 2011, O, Miami takes place every April during National Poetry month at various venues across the county and has hosted poets such as Anne Carson, Kay Ryan, Juan Felipe Herrera, W. S. Merwin, Raúl Zurita, Robert Hass, and Tracy K. Smith.
O, Miami welcomes residents and visitors to participate in “poetry-inspired projects in thoughtful, playful, and often unexpected ways.” This year’s festival highlights include O, Doption, Day, where local poets write a free pet-poem for anyone who adopts a new friend; Putt-PuttLeggers, a literary mini-golf event and used book exchange; and readings by Inaugural Poet Richard Blanco, Natalie Diaz, and former Academy Chancellor Gerald Stern, among many others.
