Graveyard Poetry: A Workshop at Nightfall

Graveyard Poetry: A Workshop at Nightfall
a project by Manny Saints and Kira Rosemarie

$20 | RSVP Here!

Graveyard Poetry is a poetry workshop set within the historic Miami City Cemetery. Inspired by the 18th-century Graveyard School of poetry, participants will explore themes of mortality, nature, history, and social commentary while drawing inspiration from the cemetery itself—its historical significance to Miami and personal experiences of visiting this contemplative space.

The workshop will begin with a brief introduction to the history of the Miami Cemetery and the Graveyard Poetry genre. Afterward, participants will have time to explore the cemetery in search of inspiration for their own poems. After, we'll gather on the cemetery lawn, where participants are invited to share their poems out loud, if they choose.

We encourage you to dress in black for the occasion and bring a blanket to sit on.

Facilitated by Kira Rosemarie and Manny Saints
