About Us
What even is this?
Our Aim?
The Lost Poetry Club is an audible zine podcast. In each episode, a theme is chosen, setting the stage for boundless exploration. We aim to deliver a blend of imagined and real-life tales that unfurl like short films, punctuated by evocative poetry and flash fiction, and complemented by music sourced outside of the mainstream, all crafted for an immersive auditory experience.
Each episode will contain approximately one hour of content and be available to access on all major platforms.
To create a kaleidoscope of voices and materials, fostering a new haven for unconventional narratives and responding to a globalized network of creativity.
While centered around speculative ideas, we are open to a true variety of genres and formats as long as they offer fresh perspectives on universal experiences.
Who's to blame?
Meet the Team
The Lost Poetry Club is the brainchild of Ilona "Illy" Kotz. An international woman of mystery, she has lived in many places including Mexico, the U.K., Hungary and REDACTED.
The Lost Poetry Club came to her one, dark stormy night in a psychic vision from which she is yet to wake.
