Lethal Poetry is a production company & label that is best known for producing unique & innovative art events that bridge the gap between diverse creative communities for the purpose of supporting non-profit & humanitarian initiatives!

Paving a new path for small businesses, Lethal Poetry provides an example of a company that operates on ethics! All initiatives are built to raise funds for non-profit partners or they incorporate humanitarian outreach such as food drives, etc. Their efforts have gained ongoing support from entities like Chicago Public Radio, Vocalo.org, & Chicago Slam Works.

The company’s portfolio thrives on high production events such as Art On Track 2008 (recognized by, New York Times, NBC, ABC, Time Out Chicago), Nights of Sight & Sound (endorsed by RedEye & Metromix), & OUTSPOKEN (endorsed by Marc Kelly Smith).
