Welcome to the Airbnb for Professional Poets and Performance Artists
Poets entertain, delight, deepen connections, catalyze creativity, and map memories for the soul. And for the first time ever, poets worldwide are bookable automatically online, in just a couple clicks.
In a hectic world, we make the literary arts seamlessly accessible.
After 12 years of representing typewriter poets and performance artists with a high-touch, hands-on agency model, we realized that most event bookings require the same communications and logistical support. We knew if we could figure out a way to streamline and automate poet bookings, we could free up a huge amount of time for what we love most: reading, writing, performing, and supporting our communities. Book a poet here, and you are automatically supporting their livelihood and building their creative capacity.
Our mission is to connect poets and poetry lovers.
We believe poetry enriches and elevates every human experience. From a family dinner to a milestone birthday, from a baby shower to a retirement party, from a corporate happy hour to a massive festival or conference.
If you are a poet, we're here for you. And if you believe in the power of words to sweeten the world, welcome in.
