The O, Miami Poetry Festival, a long-running literary festival, is expanding its reach to Broward County with a unique beer party in Dania Beach. This event marks the festival’s first gathering north of the Miami-Dade County border, bringing its lyrical touch to a brand-new beer release party at 3 Sons Brewing Co.<\/p>\n
The brewery will sell its This is Home Mango Wheat Ale in custom poetry-wrapped beer cans during a happy hour event from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday, April 14, in the taproom. The beer is inspired by a 2023 poem by Broward resident Christie Valentin-Bati:
\n\u201cthis is home
\nsun bisecting mangos
\nevery night it rains
\n(for a little while)
\nevery morning
\ndew\u201d
\n
\nIs it too soon to call it O, Broward?<\/p>\n
Caroline Cabrera, artistic director of the O, Miami Poetry Festival, says the festival is \u201cactively trying to bridge across counties and acknowledge that South Florida is one big metropolis.\u201d This expansion is a result of the festival’s goal to reach a broader audience and engage with the community beyond Miami-Dade County. Executive director Melody Santiago Cummings notes that many people live in one county and work in another, making it essential to have a presence in Broward County.<\/p>\n
Residents from Broward and Palm Beach counties \u2014 from Hallandale Beach to Jupiter \u2014 may submit short-form poems called \u201cZipOdes\u201d at OMiami.org\/pages\/zip-odes. A ZipOde is a five-line poem, with each line containing the number of words designated by the ZIP code numbers. For example, 33033 means three words in the first line, three words in the second, and so on.<\/p>\n
