The O, Miami Poetry Festival has dreamed up dozens of creative ways to expose Miamians to poetry: flying banners in the sky, sewing verses into thrift store clothing, marching through the streets dressed as dead poets.

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon remain the most mysterious of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Unlike the Great Pyramid of Giza, which can still be visited, scholars and historians are still debating over whether the gardens ever existed at all. Whether fact or fiction, the gardens are legendary...

Victor Mooney's voice lowers and soars like he's performing a one-man theater show. Sitting inside a hot, windowless room on the second floor of the Merrill-Stevens boatyard, not far from dozens of million-dollar yachts bobbing in the Miami River, Mooney is a youthful-looking 49, with a shaved head, broad face,...
The concept of "Creole" is far more complex than most people who only had a passing interest in their 8th grade history courses might recognize. To most Miamians, it's a language spoken in Haiti and among the burgeoning Haitian population of the city. That's far too much of a simplification,...
Even when an NFL team manages to get it right by punishing a player accused of domestic violence immediately, it's probably by accident.

A somewhat surprising number of Florida's biggest and most influential newspapers have come out against medical marijuana. The Orlando Sentinel, the Tampa Bay Times, and the Florida Times-Union are just a few. None of those editorials actually bashes the idea of medical marijuana. They're cool with it, in theory. They...
In the Arsht Center's production of Peter and the Starcatcher, University of Miami senior Joshua Jacobson doesn't just fill the title role, an orphaned boy who becomes Peter Pan. He also plays a pirate, a sailor, a British seaman, and a door -- yes, the kind that other characters open...
Blowfly has seemingly saved his home with IndieGoGo and some numb-nutz named Zack Brown conned 50 grand for "potato salad." Crowd-sourcing can be a powerful tool. From filmmakers to musicians, the possibilities are endless -- even more so when a pair of local artists utilize the basic concept of it...

"Phone Dad was born of a desire to expand the standard art conversation a bit and expand it to [hopefully] do two things: make it more participatory, and draw in insights that [are] a bit outside of the fairly well-worn talking points that art talks often fall into." Cara Despain's...
Apparently the hot new trend in Miami is billionaires wanting to erect giant things in downtown just for the heck of it. Of course, there's developer Jeff Berkowitz's 'R'-shaped Skyrise observational tower that will go before voters later this month. Now there's Coral Gables healthcare billionaire Mike Fernandez's idea to...
"There's no avoiding trouble in this world if you want to make something," Belle & Sebastian frontman Stuart Murdoch says about making his first feature film. "But it's worth it." And God Help the Girl, the musical he wrote and directed, certainly took a lot of toil to become the...
Who wouldn't want to trade in the blue-collar life of Hialeah for a night in a swanky hotel in Palm Beach? Just make sure you can actually pay for it before you head there. A Hialeah couple -- Javier Roura, 25, and Joanna Sanchez, 28 -- were arrested after ringing...
