Hello, I'm Noah Shachar.

I'm a poet and writer based in Salt Lake City​,​ UT. You may have spotted me writing poems with my 1971 Olympia typewriter-partner​,​ Ollie​,​ at the downtown farmers market and local pop-ups​,​ outside your favorite boutique or restaurant​,​ or even at your friend's wedding. I began my adventure as a typewriter poet in the early​,​ winter days of 2021​,​ amid the existential bog that comes with graduating from college. I'd received Ollie as a gift​,​ and I figured that instead of clawing my way out of the mud​,​ I might try pulling up a chair and a typewriter and linger a while. Poetry's become a pillar of my creativity and a lens through which I explore love​,​ change​,​ and connection. My style tends toward rhythmic free-verse​,​ with a special affinity for lunes​,​ haiku​,​ and rhyme. I've had my writing published in the Santa Barbara Independent​,​ The Catalyst Arts Magazine​,​ and OlyArts Magazine. Much of my work is available to read on my Instagram profile as well​,​ @inky.fingies.
