Palms & Poetry is more than an open mic; it’s a promise to create a safe, judgment-free sanctuary for your unique voice to soar. This event is a collaboration between the Miami Poetry Club and Books & Books, because we believe in the power of words to inspire our community. Whether you’re a poet, a listener, or simply a wanderer seeking solace in the art of expression, you’re welcome here – EVERY 3RD MONDAY of the month from 8-10pm. Sign up in person!

In the heart of historic Coral Gables, where the echoes of the past whisper through the elegant streets and lush greenery, a poetic time machine awaits. We invite you to embark on a journey into the realms of nostalgia and creative expression, where words come alive in a symphony of emotions. Join us for a mesmerizing Poetry Open Mic in the enchanting courtyard of Books & Books, a literary haven nestled within this timeless Florida gem

Picture it: A balmy evening, the gentle rustle of leaves overhead, and a warm, welcoming crowd gathered under the stars. As the sun’s golden glow fades behind the majestic Banyan trees, B&B courtyard transforms into a sanctuary for poetic performance, an oasis of inspiration that transcends time.

The Palms & Poetry Open Mic is more than just an event; it’s a bridge to the past, a nod to the romantics and visionaries who once wandered these streets. Here, amidst the historic architecture and the essence of old-world charm, we celebrate the written and spoken word, the very essence of human connection.

This is a space where poetic yearning meets innovation, where poets young and old, seasoned and fresh, unite to share their stories, dreams, and passions up on the microphone. It’s a moment frozen in time, where creativity flows freely, and every word carries the weight of a thousand emotions.

The Palms & Poetry Open Mic is your invitation to be part of this timeless tradition, a chance to connect, reflect, and let your soul unfurl in verse. Enjoy drinks and food from the B&B cafe and unwind! Join us in the courtyard of Books & Books and become a part of Miami’s literary history. Let the nostalgia guide you as we create an evening where hearts open, words flow, and the magic of poetry thrives.
