Bring a vintage typewriter and a little bit of magic to your next gathering.
I write original poems on the spot for your guests, inspired by their stories, ideas, memories, dreams, and desires. Each poem is typed with a vintage typewriter on handmade paper and given to your guest as a one-of-a-kind keepsake.

Make any event special by adding instant poets to your party, wedding reception, or conference. We craft hand-typed poems on hand-made paper, taking your topics, stories, and experiences and turning them into beautiful poems. Right before your eyes.
Zach and his typewriter were the magical personal touch that made our reception just perfect! Many of my wedding guests now have their poems framed prominently. The handmade paper by his partner, Madi, make the poems that much more special. An unforgettable addition, I highly recommend hiring Zach and Madi for your next event!

What if, instead of another party favor, your guests went home with a poem?
With Crescent City Poetry, guests sit down at the typewriter, give me a word, a memory, a feeling—or simply a name—and I turn it into a poem.
No two poems are the same.
It’s part entertainment, part conversation, and part keepsake. Most importantly, it’s a chance for your guests to feel seen and celebrated.
Give your guests something they’ll actually take home and keep.
Perfect for cocktail hours, receptions, welcome parties, rehearsal dinners, and more.
Birthdays, anniversaries, dinner parties, fundraisers, and celebrations of all kinds.
Bring live poetry to festivals, markets, cultural events, and gatherings that want something a little different.
01 — Your guests sit down.
They bring me a word, story, memory, question, or idea.
02 — We talk.
I listen, think, and compose an original poem specifically for them.
03 — I type.
The poem is typed live on a vintage typewriter while they watch.
04 — They take it home.
A completely original poem, made for them, right there at your event.
There’s something different about a poem that wasn’t written for everyone.
It’s written for you.
A name. A first dance. A grandmother. A ridiculous inside joke. A place you love. A feeling you couldn’t quite put into words.
These are the moments that become poems.
Tell me a little about your event, and I’ll get back to you with availability and pricing.
