Da Poetry Lounge serves as a hub for many poets and poetry lovers in Southern California. Not only does going there mean you will be immediately plugged into the local poetry scenes happening throughout Los Angeles, but DPL has sparked other venues.

What makes the lounge such a special place, one that has thrived for fifteen years while attracting large numbers on a weekly basis, is precisely its ability to feel like home for so many young artists—that is, a familial environment that nurtures young writers of all kinds.
