Check Out a Poet at the Coral Gables Library
Presented in partnership with the City of Coral Gables
We're bringing Check Out a Poet to the Coral Gables Library!
Check out a Poet is modeled on the Human Library, wherein members of the general public are invited to spend 15 minutes of one-on-one time with a local poet—hear them read, ask them questions, and develop their own poems under the guidance of a professional.
