- **Event Description**: Part of an ongoing series of poetry readings on Miami BeachAbout this EventJoin us for a special collaboration poetry reading with SWWIM x Matwaala featuring Lesley Wheeler + Haya Pomrenze.In honor of SWWIM's 10th anniversary, The Betsy welcomes as part of this month's poetry reading Matwaala, which is also celebrating a decade of supporting writers.Matwaala was launched in 2015 to increase the visibility of diasporic South Asian poets (from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Maldives, Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Afghanistan) in the mainstream American literary landscape. The name Matwaala in a transferred sense suggests the intoxication of poetic creativity. Matwaala showcases the diversity within the South Asian community—and within the Indo-American community.Presented in partnership with The Betsy Hotel, SWWIM and MATWAALA, and with support from the Jorge Perez Family Foundation CreARTE Grant.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/91478ae0-c5db-11f0-a796-85543d726026-rimg-w592-h740-dcffffff-gmir.jpg Visiting writer: Lesley Wheeler, Poetry Editor of Shenandoah, is the author of Mycocosmic, runner-up for the Dorset Prize and her sixth poetry collection.
