Do you like to write poetry? Do you live in Miami-Dade County?

From now until April 30, 2011, O, Miami is asking all Miami-Dade County residents who write poetry to participate in the first-ever Miami Poet Census. We want everybody who identifies as a poet to sign up and be counted. The publication of individual poems or collections of poems is NOT a requirement to be included. All languages, styles, and levels of experience are welcome.

The goal of the census is for the first time in history to accurately represent the community of poets in Miami and to create a “Poetic Map of Miami” that will demonstrate our impact on cultural life. In addition, your contribution makes you eligible for publication in “The Poetic Guide to Miami,” a book O, Miami is commissioning during April 2011.

To participate in the census, please complete our online form.
