$5 Poetry Night @ Vizcaya Museum and Gardens

April 24, 2019 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm UTC+0

Enjoy a sunset poetry reading at beautiful Vizcaya Museum and Gardens with complimentary beer by Concrete Brewery for only $5.

The evening will feature readings by the winners of “Ode to Your Zip Code,” a South Florida-wide poetry contest created by WLRN and O, Miami, a Knight Foundation-funded poetry festival.

It’s not too late to wax poetic about your neighborhood. WLRN and O, Miami are still accepting odes to South Florida zip codes in the form of the code itself: five lines, with each line containing the number of words designated by the zip numbers (For example, if you live in 33139, your poem would be 3 words, 3 words, 1 word, 3 words, 9 words). To submit your own Zip Code poem and find out more about the contest, visit the O Miami website. Submissions are due by April 19.

O, Miami and the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Biscayne Nature Center will award the 2019 Marjory Stoneman Douglas Poetry Award. Light Bites will be provided by Dade County Food Group.
