Description:
 An Exhibition of Young Miami Poets
Created by O, Miami, in collaboration with the Miami-Dade Public Library System
Design by Noah Levy

“If I Am the Book, Then You Are the Words,” is a series of posters created by O, Miami to be exhibited in Miami-Dade Public Libraries. Each poster features a short poetic excerpt written by a 3rd or 4th grade student in O, Miami’s Sunroom Education Program. The program places professional poets in residence at four Miami public schools: Orchard Villa Elementary, Poinciana Park Elementary, Holmes Elementary, and Emerson Elementary. The Sunroom teaches poetry as a means of self-expression and uses public art projects to extend the reach of the student work. See Sunroom students in action at omiami.org or by following @omiamifestival on Instagram and Twitter.
