Live Typewriter Poetry
A vintage typewriter, a brief conversation, and a poem typed directly onto the page for your guests to carry home.
I set up a dedicated poetry station at your event to write real-time, custom poems for one person at a time. No pre-written verses or formulas, just an honest, tangible artifact crafted for each recipient.
IDEAL FOR
-
Weddings: Cocktail hours, receptions, or rehearsal dinners
-
Brand Activations: Corporate gatherings, product launches, & VIP lounges
-
Private Celebrations: Milestone birthdays, dinner parties, pop-ups, & retreats
If your gathering values presence, story, and genuine connection, this experience fits seamlessly.
THE EXPERIENCE
-
A Brief Conversation Guests step up one-on-one. We speak for a minute or two about whatever is on their heart or mind.
-
Written in Real Time I type a custom, free-verse poem on a vintage manual typewriter while they watch the ink hit the paper.
-
A Keepsake to Hold The guest receives the original typed page - a physical keepsake that lasts far beyond the event.
Pacing & Capacity: Because every poem is crafted entirely from scratch in the moment, I write approximately 5–10 poems per hour, prioritizing craft over speed.
LOGISTICS & SETUP
What I Bring: Vintage manual typewriter, paper, display, and lighting. What the Venue Provides: A small table (or bistro table), two chairs, and a well-lit space near the action.
THE POETRY
Short form and free-verse pieces ranging from a few striking lines to a full stanzas. They are designed to give shape to the feelings people rarely have the words for. Guests leave with a small piece of literary craft, a personal reminder of the evening.
