Letters From Miami
Previous Issues
Collectible Items
Issue #4 - Public Transportation
Nobody talks about getting around Miami without telling a story. Issue #4 explores how people move through a city that was never quite designed for movement.
Also inside: Megan Roth's column No Crying in Shark Diving, Ryan Wheelbarrow's central spread I Am Here, a musical reflection on Hit the Road Jack, and Trains in Japan, a comic by Avery Hick in partnership with ZineMap.
Issue #3 - Birds
The peacocks cross the street without looking. The monk parakeets arrived from somewhere else and never left. The mockingbird will argue with its own reflection.
Issue #3 is about Miami's birds, the expected ones and the ones nobody warned you about, and the quiet case they make for paying more attention to what's already around you.
Issue #2 - Sailing
From the right angle, on the right evening, Biscayne Bay can make you forget every complicated thing about this city.
Issue #2 lives in that moment, the skyline at night, the water, the particular silence of being on a boat while Miami keeps moving without you.
An issue about stillness in a city that never stops.
Issue #1 - Dogma Grill
Every city has a place that is impossible to explain to someone who hasn't been there. In Miami, one of those places is a hot dog stand on US1.
Issue #1 starts there, at Dogma Grill, on Biscayne Boulevard, on a stretch of road that connects more of the city than most people realize.
A hand-drawn love letter to the unglamorous, necessary, irreplaceable corners of Miami.
Current Issue: The Power of Public Art
Issue #5 | August, 2026
The idea for this issue came from Ryan Wheelbarrow, our resident contributor and one of the most knowledgeable voices on public art in Miami. Ryan has spent years learning the walls of this city.
​
In this issue: Tiana Traffas and her street art zine, part manifesto, part instruction manual, rooted in feminism and the conviction that public space belongs to everyone. Fanzine Puerto Rico with the story of Entre Café, Música y Arte, seventeen years of community culture built in a public square in Mayagüez. Megan Roth descending forty feet below the surface of the Atlantic in her column Only Fins. And an interview with Morazul, a Colombian artist who has been painting the streets of cities across Latin America and now Miami for twenty years, and has a lot to say about what walls are really for.
​
We also welcome Serci Cox as a new resident contributor — a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores joy, self-expression, and healing through unforgettable women characters and color as a language all its own.
