About Us

At FoundPoemsMKE, we are rediscovering the lost poetry of old Milwaukee. We aim to share this poetry with the goal of shining a spotlight on the trials, tribulations, thoughts, concerns and experience that the citizenry of Milwaukee faced in the past.

The poetry we are interested with was written prior to the year 1900, however that is not a hard cutoff if we find something we think belong in this collection. If you have any poetry that fits that description do not hesitate to reach out to foundpoemsMKE@gmail.com.
