Custom, on-the-spot typewriter poetry. Add a unique, personalized touch to any event.

Custom typewriter poetry is an opportunity for your guests to walk away with a one-of-a-kind keepsake while participating in live art.

How does it work?

At your event, guests can approach me at any time* and request a poem about anything they’d like—seriously, I’ve had requests like “psychedelic vampires,” “gay frogs,” and once, a child asked me for a poem about her “favorite brown shoes.” They give me as much or as little information as they want, and I write.

Depending on the size of your event, wait times may get up to 30-45 minutes.

*for weddings, we can also have a dedicated time during which requests can be placed and then picked up, to be mindful of other scheduled activities.
