How to Take the Words Out of a Poem

How To Take the Words Out of a Poem: Objects & Images from O, Miami
January 2019 (Gallery talk, 1/10/19, 3pm)
The Studios of Key West

Every April since 2011, the O, Miami Poetry Festival has embraced the goal of each and every person in Greater Miami encountering a poem during the month of April. Working with artists and organizations of all kinds, they’ve painted poems on rooftops, made them into tattoos, golf-leafed them into urinals, flown them behind airplanes, and sewn them into clothing tags. How to Take the Words Out of a Poem is O, Miami’s first-ever public retrospective, documenting the range and depth of their accomplishment with objects, photos, video and audio.
