A multimedia poetry anthology with the Open Mic experience in mind. Written and spoken word poets were welcomed into this project.
Uniquely, each poem appears in a printed anthology and paired with a QR code linking to a video recording of the poet performing their work.
By uniting page and voice, the anthology preserves regional poetic expression, honors oral storytelling traditions, and increases accessibility to poetry for diverse audiences.
The project serves as both a cultural archive and a living art experience—centering local voices, fostering creative visibility, and documenting North Florida’s contemporary poetic landscape for future generations.
