Lost Poets Salons

Lost Poets Salons have gathered over 211 poets in 19 gatherings across the globe, aimed at understanding the plights of our generation and cultivating a voice of resistance & renaissance.

Discourse is the spark of revolution, and purpose is the flame of change.

Salons Thrive Around Dinner Tables & In Social Clubs

Imagine being in Gertrude Stein's salon in 20's Paris, with Hemingway, Picasso, Ezra Pound, and F. Scott Fitzgerald.

From Stein's Paris to the Six Gallery in 1950s San Francisco to the Medici table in Renaissance Italy, small rooms of artists have repeatedly given a generation its voice.

Golden age isn't an accident, the DNA of renaissance is common purpose.

127 artists are already commingling in Lost Poets Salons, with more than 8 million readers in their networks.

We have never needed Bob Dylan & Maya Angelou style voices of hope and resistance more than we do today.

What outrages you? What stirs your passion?

These are indicators telling you what to write about, what to create art about, what to live about.

It's not enough to talk about love, we must become love.
