🎪 POET LIFE FEST IS BACK. A POET'S HOMECOMING!

It's no longer just a day in DC... or what became a weekend in Atlanta.

It is now a pillar! ...a weeklong Homecoming for poets and people who love and appreciate poetry, community, and the small business community!

For those who are new here, Poet Life Fest didn’t just start as an idea—it started as an experience.

A little history 👇

Poet Life Fest first came to life in Washington, DC (2021) as a bold cultural experiment:

What happens when poets, creatives, community, and culture are placed at the center... on purpose?

The answer was powerful.

That momentum carried to Atlanta (2022), where the Fest grew into something bigger:

More artists
More collaboration
More visibility
More proof that poetry belongs on major stages and in real conversations

Poet Life Fest has always been about more than performances.

It has always been about creating space where poetry is valued, experienced, and activated.

🌍 WHY POET LIFE FEST IS RETURNING NOW

Poet Life Fest is back because the ecosystem is ready.

Today, Poet Life Fest lives inside the Poetry Business Network as one of our core media pillars... meaning:

It’s no longer a one-off moment
It’s part of a larger creative operating system
It connects poets, creatives, organizations, brands, and audiences intentionally

Poet Life Fest now represents:

Cultural celebration
Creative opportunity
Media visibility
Marketplace activation
Partnership and sponsorship alignment

This is the evolution of the Fest.
