A poet from Miami.

Chris the Poet is a Miami-born poet and educator. He creates personalized poems on vintage typewriters at events, leads poetry workshops, and writes custom commissions.

His work draws from Miami’s people and places, family, memory, love, humor, wonder, and the unexpected intimacy that can develop between strangers. Whether working on the page, performing, teaching a workshop, or writing at his typewriter, he pays close attention to the stories people carry and the words they use to tell them.
