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.
