lit lounge: the people’s art

a prose and poetry salon

Created and hosted by Jodi-Ann Burey, Lit Lounge: The People's Art is a prose and poetry salon that brings culture and community together through the literary arts. At Lit Lounge, the lit matters just as much as the lounge. Each month, three writers share their published works or works-in-progress alongside a live DJ, small bites, drinks and good vibes.
