What is it About this place With Sound and stories… So salty.
That’s our Zip Ode, a poetic ode to our zip code here at the studios in Miami: 33132.
Your zip determines the number of words in each line of the poem. So, for us, that’s three words, then three words, one word, three and two.
With our partner O, Miami Poetry Festival, we asked you to memorialize your own federally appointed numerical designation by writing Zip Odes.
More than 1,100 poems came in and they were a lot of fun to read.
