Miami is a city undergoing a profound cultural renaissance, yet its literary history often remains in the shadows. Poetry City follows Oscar Fuentes – known to many as “The Biscayne Poet” – and Nicole Tallman, Miami-Dade County’s poetry ambassador, as they lead a collective of writers on a quest to rediscover the voices of Miami’s past. Featuring appearances from literary giants like Richard Blanco and Mitchell Kaplan, Poetry Citydemonstrates how the county’s commitment to the arts has fueled South Florida’s international ascent.
The journey reaches a powerful climax at Miami Book Fair, where the poets stage a theatrical presentation pairing historical works with their own contemporary responses, proving that Miami’s heartbeat is, and always has been, pure poetry.
