O, Miami Poetry Festival
O, Miami is now accepting project proposals for our 15th annual Poetry Festival in April 2026.
The goal of the annual O, Miami Poetry Festival is for every person in Miami-Dade County to encounter a poem.
Each festival begins on April 1st and ends on April 30th. Mixing site-specific events, community gatherings, and poetry-in-public-places projects, the festival strives to be a celebration of Miami and its people.

In the Belly of the Bird/Godmother
How do you keep someone’s memory alive?
Storytelling, objects, rituals, movement, photos, songs — what is your act of remembering?
O, Miami is now accepting poetry and prose to inspire the sound and choreography of In the Belly of the Bird/Godmother, a somapoem shaped through movement and memory, created by Pioneer Winter Collective in partnership with the City of Miami Beach OnStage! program.
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.
O, Miami acquires first serial rights and non-exclusive reprint rights.
In addition to being considered for the primary submission purpose, all submissions to O, Miami are collected in the O, Miami archive and considered for future use in publications, public art, merchandise and other printed materials.
