Spontaneous Poems, Authentic Connections
For over a decade, our sparkly, professional poets have typed on-the-spot poems across the country. Bring some poetry magic to your next event!
“Hello!
What can we write you a poem about?”
With Typewriter Rodeo at your event:
Your guests give a topic — like “cheese” or “I’m starting a new job.” Then we make up a poem, on a typewriter, on-the-spot, just for them. The result is often smiles, high-fives, even hugs and tears.
It’s the opposite of AI — it’s a moment of genuine connection.
Whatever your event, people will be talking about Typewriter Rodeo long after.

Poetry for everyone.
We’ve typed at corporate conferences and museum exhibits from Maine to Mexico. Schools and festivals from Austin to Boston, Seattle to Sun Valley. Nonprofits to weddings, kid-friendly to adult-feisty. You name it and we’ve probably been hired for it – always to the delight of guests.
“Not everyone loves poetry,” says Rodeo co-founder Sean Petrie, “but everyone does seem to love a poem, created on a topic they picked, typed for them while they watch.”
“Not just entertainment: a personal, emotional keepsake for each employee.”
