April is Poetry Month and we're inviting you to help us celebrate! Visit the Library throughout the month to contribute your poem and help decorate our community Poe-Tree, then remember to join us on April 30 as we unveil the final creation. You may also submit your poems by email to programs@mdpls.org. All ages are welcome for this family-friendly event presented in collaboration with O, Miami. For more information please contact the branch at recordr@mdpls.org or 305-261-1571.
The inspiration behind the Poe-Tree is Tanabata, the Japanese star festival, where wishes are traditionally hung from bamboo trees. Participants would do the same with the Poe-Tree, tying their poetry to the limbs our tree. You can visit the Fairlawn Branch Library or submit poems via programs@mdpls.org and see your poems connecting with others as a part of Miami’s Poe-Tree. This project serves as a metaphor for poetry's capacity to foster growth since it presents the works of Miami poets in harmony with one another, much like a tree grows in a forest or in a busy city like Miami.
