150 poems for strangers
As a typewriter poet, I bring my typewriter to events where I create one-of-a-kind poems for strangers based on any word of their choosing. Each title is the word they chose.Â
This book is a collection of 150 photos of these poems. Each photo is of the actual 5x7" card I then handed to the customer.
After reviewing each poem I had written, I discovered they all fit into four categories:
Life, Love, World, and Self.
When you pick up this book, you are not only reading poems written for strangers. You are exploring what is important to people and what is on the forefront of their minds, regardless of the many differences between them. We are all the same in the way we interact with poetry: curious and full of wonder.
