Zip Odes
The Zip Ode, an original form invented by O, Miami, and WLRN, is designed to transform your zip code into an occasion for a place-based, lyrical celebration.
Write the numbers of your zip code down the left-hand side of the page. Each number determines the number of words in that line. You can now submit your five-line poem about your zip code year-round.
In the Belly of the Bird/Godmother
O, Miami is now accepting poetry and prose that will inspire the narrative and choreography of a new dance performance by Pioneer Winter Collective during the 2025 Poetry Festival.
In the Belly of the Bird is a poetic-theatrical dance performance by Pioneer Winter, in collaboration with O, Miami, that explores how a mother's presence endures beyond physical loss. An intergenerational cast weaves dance, spoken word, and dreamlike imagery through themes of grief, memory, and escapism.
Now the same age as his mother when she passed away at 37, choreographer Pioneer Winter wonders if an African Grey parrot—given away after her death—still carries her voice.
