If you’ve ever been to a Wynwood Second Saturdays Art Walk, you’ve probably met the Miami Poetry Collective. They’re the ones behind makeshift tables — littered with vintage typewriters and half-empty cups of beer — selling custom poems for a couple of bucks. The project is called Poem Depot, and it’s the brainchild of poet and FIU professor Campbell McGrath who formed the collective with a group of graduate students at a bar back in 2008.
In addition to setting up a poem shop at events all around Miami, the collective publishes a DIY literary pub called Cent Journal. They’re also featured in the upcoming 8th annual Tigertail, A South Florida Poetry Annual, and they’ll be reading selected poems at a Books & Books launch this Thursday.
