POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Hey Poet! Have you listened to The Poetry Lab Podcast lately?

With more than 115,000 downloads and counting, we’re creating a gathering place for poets and writers navigating art, practice, and resistance in real time. At The Poetry Lab, we strive to offer an alternative to the academic-elite version of the writer’s lifestyle. We believe in spaces that fit who we actually are, not who we’ve been told to be.

Check out founder Danielle Mitchell’s guide to The Poetry Lab Podcast, where you’ll meet the four incredible hosts who carry our mission forward: Ravina Wadhwani, bridgette bianca, Lori Walker, and Leonora Simonovis. Each one brings their own creative lens to the mic, making the podcast a living, evolving conversation.

We invite you to dive in and join our hosts for insights, creative prompts, and more.

Be sure to sign up for the Care Package at the end of Danielle’s article to get instant access to proven strategies for your creative process!

With the year quickly drawing to a close, we’d like to take a look back at one of the highlights of our fall season, our No Fest Poetry Marathon Fundraiser! This all-day event was jam-packed with the spirit and artistry of our beloved Beyond Baroque community. Despite the rain, poets and audiences alike showed up in droves to support our literary mission. We want to extend a huge thanks to everyone who made it out that day! A very special thank you goes to all of our staff, trustees, members, readers, volunteers, small press vendors, and food truck vendors!

As we trek onward, we encourage you to continue supporting our organization by attending our final programs of the year, and by making a donation or becoming a member with us to help us reach our end-of-year goal! Thank you all for your constant support. Let’s keep the home of literary arts of Los Angeles alive and thriving!
