I would LOVE to help make your next event something to remember & share!
First, I custom illustrate a Poetry Art Card to commemorate your special event.
Then, at your event, I typewrite on-demand poems, onto those keepsake
cards, for your guests! They leave with a ready to frame piece of artwork.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
First, we will chat a bit so that I can understand the theme, mood, and meaning of your event. This is a very quick process, and can be done via questionnaire if preferable.
Next, I will design and illustrate/hand letter your custom Poetry Art Card. This is the card onto which your guest's poems will be typed! I produce the cards in studio by hand. They double beautifully as event-specific stationary!
Then, your event! I will arrive with my vintage Smith-Corona typewriter in tow, FREE POEMS sign, and the muses floating around me.
Once I am set up and your guests arrive, the real fun begins! I will type poems for your guests as they request them. Most people find their poems to be insightful, affirming, and cosmically aligned.
Your guests will leave my table (& your event!) with a truly special keepsake that they are sure to treasure, and share. Every poem is a one-of-a-kind, ready to frame piece of art.

THE TYPEWRITER POETRY BY ELLEN EXPERIENCE
|
When a guest sits down across from me to request their poem, they are welcomed to prompt me in any way. Invariably, most times this prompt comes through as a sort of mini-bio, focused on whatever is deeply and emotionally prevalent for the guest at that time.
When this doesn't happen, something more playful does, and instead of a deep emotional prompt I receive a directive that stems from curiosity, incredulity, or just pure joy. I have written poems prompted by a wide variety of directives, from "the color green" to "my mother visits me as a cardinal" to "a cheetah, a crystal, and a rainbow" to "a poem that favors form over function" and everything in between. I have also written many poems unprompted, which is always a joy as it gives the muses at play in that moment a chance to truly show up and express themselves. As an intuitive mystic, I am able to utilize my connection to the Universe, to the Akash, and t use these prompts as a starting point for an often heart opening journey that takes just 5-7 minutes, and ends with a delightfully meaningful and often surprisingly personal poem. By being able to tap into the etheric energies that connect us all, I am able to use these bits of personal expression given to me as entre into a deeper, more cosmic connection. Even just sitting across from someone completely unprompted often leads to a poem that connects more than expected. |
When I typewrite poems for people, I feel as though I am a cypher, or vessel. I often hear the first line, as if spoken from a moment in time where I have always existed, and it is then that I know that my fingers will take care of the rest. Once I connect, the poem writes itself quite quickly, even with distractions at hand.
One of the more enjoyably challenging aspects of this job IS the distractions! As most of the events I work are celebrations attended by many people, loud noises, music, and even other entertainers are often part of the sound/energy-scape that surrounds me. I really enjoy the way that each event provides a different set of challenges and inspirations in this way, and I find that my poetry practice only benefits from having to work with these other bits of experience happening around me. Almost always, after being handed their poem the recipient will stop and read what has been written for them, right there on the spot. Often times they read it out loud, contributing to the performance and spectacle for all. Other times, they read it in silence, inevitably handing it over to their friend or lover in amazement, so that they can see the magic, too. Once the poem has been read, the recipient always looks at me in wonder, often asking aloud, "How did you know that?", or stating something like, "This is so me." All I can do is smile and say, "It's just what I do!". |

Each finished typewriter poem is actually a personal Poetry Art Print -- a one-of-a-kind keepsake -- ready to frame, share, and treasure for years to come. Guests who leave with a personal poem are sure to share their newfound Text and Image Art Piece with friends and family, in person and on social media. The entire experience lends itself beautifully to the type of content rich type of sharing we are so used to today, and that so many of us are looking to encourage at our events.
