Live, on-the spot typewriter poetry! The conversations I've shared with folks as I create their poems have been some of the most riveting and big-hearted encounters of my life. It goes like this: I have a brief conversation with a guest based on a prompt of the client's choosing and that conversation, which is equal parts casual and like a mini therapy session, serves as the inspiration for the poem I then craft in real time on my typewriter for that person to take home with them on-the-spot. I find that the most nervous are also the most eager to open up, that everyone could use a poem even if they don't know it yet, and people leave this experience feeling seen and like a snapshot of their story or the moment that they're in has been sketched in words for them to keep and treasure. We usually part at the end of this experience with hugs, tears, laughter or a mixture of all of the above. It is an exchange of artistic medicine in a world which rarely allows us to pause and truly connect or feel seen by a stranger.
