O, Miami and WLRN's 2023 Zip Odes Finale was one for the books — more than 300 guests joined us for the return of our in-person poetry reading at Vizcaya Museum & Gardens.
Alberto Ibargüen, the CEO and President of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, is retiring from his position after 18 years. He steered millions of dollars into art projects in South Florida that brought art into he hands of residents. He joins WLRN's Carlos Frías to talk about Miami’s ever-changing art scene — and what he hopes to see next.
We're enjoying National Poetry Month with O, Miami and some of our favorite Zip Odes. Make sure to submit your ode by April 20 for a chance to read at our Zip Ode Finale at Vizcaya Museum & Gardens.
“I think too often we see the idea of a poet being a certain type of person. Like you have to be like William Shakespeare to be considered a poet. And honestly, that's not true at all [...] Everyone has their own identity and their own poem in them."
Whether you want to celebrate your favorite ventanita or complain about the traffic on I-95, the poetry festival O, Miami and WLRN want you to write an ode to your zip code. A winning poem will be featured on a downtown billboard during the month of April.
