Miami Poetry Club

WE TURN BLANK PAGES AND STAGES INTO COMMUNITY, 
BY HELPING WRITERS WRITE REFINE AND RECITE

Miami is bursting with stories, yet too often its writers are underrepresented on national stages or face barriers to access if they happen to come from non-academic or underserved backgrounds. By making writing approachable, celebratory, and community-centered, we fill this gap—providing opportunities for self-expression, healing, and human connection while uplifting Miami as a known literary city with education impacting our city's cultural experiences.

Who We Serve: 
Miami Poetry Club welcomes established, emerging and writers who’ve never even considered themselves writers at all. Our community reflects Miami itself: multigenerational, multicultural, multilingual, and diverse in socioeconomic background. Out of town guests also join our events, so our events go beyond supporting South Florida.

How We Reach Our Community (Programming) :
3 FREE CONSISTENT MONTHLY EVENTS: We have dedicated these 3 events to be completely free and offer a high value to all participants, with interactive programing, education, connection and fun!

• WRITE & REFINE: Two No-Cost Workshops (Generative Workshop/Writer's Lab Feedback Workshop) hosted monthly at The Dock in Wynwood 
• RECITE: Monthly performance event Palms & Poetry Open Mic hosted generously by Books & Books in Coral Gables.

Beyond this, MPC brings poetry and writing into public life through community partnerships, immersive events, and digital platforms. There are either ticketed or Free. Whether at an art gallery, local film festival, pop up workshop, collaboration, or at a city event, we want to inspire Miamians from all walks of life to have access to the joy and power of words. We aim to inspire our community members to create their own poetry events, and we uplift those too! 

• Poetry Playground (Advanced Writing Workshops) & Pop-Up Collaborations 
• MPC Showcase and Performance Events
  
  

💜💜💜What Are We Raising Funds For: We are raising funds to expand and provide supplies for our free writing programs and establish a permanent Writer’s House (Clubhouse) and upgrade our audio equipment so that we can continue to create spaces where every voice in Miami feels heard, supported, and celebrated and ensure that Miami’s writers have a home to gather, grow, and thrive.

Your contribution helps us:

• Offer more free workshops and open mics (with quality audio and supplies) across Miami’s neighborhoods

• Build and sustain the Miami Poetry Clubhouse — a dedicated literary space for all and give MPC a real home.

Every dollar supports the creative heartbeat of our city, helping us turn blank pages into belonging, and writers into community-builders.

From Blank Pages to Belonging

At Miami Poetry Club, we believe that perfection is the enemy of connection. Too often, people hold back their voices because they feel they need the “perfect” words. We are here to change that. We are solving the communication problem by giving Miamians the tools and confidence to share their stories in real time, in their own language, on their own terms.

That's why we need your help to solve the communication problem.

For us, education is liberation—accessible, creative learning that empowers people of all ages and backgrounds to express themselves and connect with their communities. Through workshops, open mics, and collaborative events, we replace fear with freedom, silence with voice, and isolation with belonging. Our events are meant to celebrate—the diversity of our city, the joy of creativity, and the power of community. Every workshop, open mic, and gathering is both an invitation to write and a festival of voices, lifting up the stories that make Miami extraordinary.

Currently, we are 100% MPC leadership and community funded. Consider a monthly Donation and watch our city change! This is our first GIVE MIAMI DAY experience, and your support means so much.
