the alt-lit voice for a beautiful and jaded generation
We started Poet Land as a place for new, different, and alternative voices to be heard: voices that are missing in traditional publishing, voices that have been ignored or silenced, brilliant voices that have something to say.
As a queer-owned magazine, we strive to build a community of boundary-pushing artists to make life more beautiful through words, performance, and creation.
Poet Land grew from the embers of a pandemic-inspired magazine called The Marais Review, whose ambition was matched only by its sense of style and artistry. We maintained the visual flair and came back together with a more singular vision around finding, nurturing, and supporting poets and writers with unique voices and interesting stories to tell.
