Finding the right place to express emotions, thoughts and experiences leads one to seek help from those closest to us without other perspectives to reach a broader conclusion. What if others could read and listen to our stories without worrying about differences?
Emotions, thoughts and experiences can all be shared through a poem that introduces a world of creativity that is endless when picking up a pencil and writing. To push the idea of becoming a writer, Micah Marie Johnson and Sten Garcia, poets and creatives, decided to start the Miami Poetry Club, a non-profit organization generating writing workshops and events bi-monthly every second and fourth Wednesday of the month.
Covering a plethora of themes everyone is free to share without including controversial topics to create a safe space for expression. Alyssa, an FIU alumni and Miami Poetry Club writer, describes:
“I feel like Miami Poetry Club gathers so many different people, that I hear so many different perspectives and ways of describing things… You know like emotions, or a scenario, or places, and it pushes me to be more innovative with my writing.”
Welcoming everyone, the Miami Poetry Club introduces a top-of-the-line experience for newcomers while extending an arm to anyone with warm welcomes and the freedom to share or just listen.
