Typewriter Poems on the Spot

Watch me write a poem on the spot for two friends marking 10 years of friendship

When I'm not writing or editing for Canadian media publications, you can find me writing poems on the spot using my grandfather's typewriter.

I've done pop up work in parks, farmer's markets, and post offices across Canada, including the Halifax Brewery Market, Toronto's First Post Office, and Withrow Farmer's Market in Toronto's east end. I'm also one of the poets on the roster at Poesy, where I've been hired to write poems at corporate events, club nights, and other unique activations.

You can bring me out to your public or private events, including vintage markets, brand launches, baby showers and weddings, to write poems on the spot based on live prompts from guests. I'd love to collaborate on the approach that best suits your event!

I can provide you a custom quote based on event location, duration, and any custom elements. I'm always up to travel for poetry; out of town events include additional travel fees.
