O, Miami is proud to announce that submissions are open for the first annual Jubi Arriola-Headley South Florida Book Prize, a new book prize supporting the publication of a full-length manuscript by a South Florida poet. The winning poet will receive a $1000 honorarium as well as 10 contributor copies and an author's discount for additional copies.
We are honored to do this work in loving memory of our friend and beloved poet, Jubi Arriola-Headley (1969-2025) (he/him), a Black queer poet, storyteller, and activist whose work explored themes of vulnerability, manhood, and joy. He was the author of the poetry collections original kink (Sibling Rivalry Press, 2020) and Bound (Persea Books, 2024).
