In a world where too many struggles go unspoken, The Lost Poets LLC emerges as a vibrant home for expression, empowerment, and healing. Founded in 2019 by author and artist Vincent Joseph Osborne III, this growing literary force has become a sanctuary where writers unlock their voices and transform their truths into catalysts for change.
Our Mission: Poetry with Power
At The Lost Poets LLC, poetry isn’t just art — it’s breath, it’s courage, it’s connection. Our work dives into the realities many endure but rarely name: social inequities, personal battles, mental health challenges, and the layered experiences of cultural identity. Through intentional publications and community-centered engagement, we cultivate space for storytelling that is bold, honest, and deeply transformative.
Every book purchased, every poem shared, and every performance delivered fuels something bigger. We proudly support mental health initiatives by donating books and proceeds to organizations such as the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), ensuring that our words create real-world impact for those navigating mental health journeys.
Our Literary Legacy
Since day one, The Lost Poets LLC has produced powerful works that resonate across generations and communities:
- The Lost Poets: Suicide Notes (2019) — A fearless exploration of pain, survival, and hope that breaks the silence surrounding suicide and mental health.
- The Lost Poets: Black In 2019 — A dynamic collection featuring young African American and African voices, celebrating identity, resilience, and cultural pride during a pivotal moment in history.
These books are more than literature — they are conversations the world needs, stories that demand to be heard, and voices that refuse to fade.
A Global Community of Modern Poets
The Lost Poets is far more than a brand; it is a movement. Our expanding initiative connects a worldwide community of modern poets through events, collaborations, and projects like the Crown Anthology. We are building a creative ecosystem where writers feel empowered to speak their truth and readers find solidarity, healing, and inspiration.
Our collective continues to grow with talented contributors — including co-writers like Daisy Bojorquez — each adding their own brilliance to our evolving tapestry.
