Dept. of Poetry Works

DEPARTMENT OF POETRY WORKS (DPW) – Created by artist/graphic designer Randy Burman in collaboration with a number of poets, both local and not. The Department of Poetry Works is a temporary, unofficial, bureaucratic entity in Miami-Dade County with the task of repairing, maintaining, and updating public instances of poetry. Throughout April, Department of Poetry Works employees will be dispersed throughout all twenty-one areas of the county, searching for poems that have been neglected and/or hidden by overgrowth, development, expansion, or declension. When they find such poems, DPW employees will return the poem to its original state, or, if the poem is broken beyond repair, rewrite it into the Miami landscape. Produced by O, Miami for the O, Miami Poetry Festival, whose mission is for every single person in Miami-Dade County to encounter a poem during the month of April.
