Hello, I'm Hannah Monsour.

I am a New York based poet and actor. For nearly three years now I have traveled to weddings​,​ parks​,​ parties and more to write poems for strangers on my vintage 1952 typewriter. You may have seen me writing online​,​ outside the Met Museum​,​ or in Central Park. My style leans free verse (although I will take form requests!) with little white left on the page. The poems I write are catered towards the recipient-- often leading to a tender experience filled with tears and joy. When I am not writing poetry I am working on a film​,​ rehearsing for a play​,​ or recording my podcast​,​ Poking Around​,​ which explores the thin line between comedy and poetry. No matter what I am doing​,​ I am trying best to look closely at the world.
