From Tom Hanks

“Here in your hands is a lively, collage-form gathering of poems, photos, and back stories, which puts the work of these mad, ambush-style typists on colorful display.”

Billy Collins, U.S. Poet Laureate

From Texas teachers to Maine lobstermen, Typewriter Rodeo tells the stories of real people across the country — through original poems, hand-typed for them on-the-spot.

“Filled with the delicious danger of creativity in front of strangers, your heart is hungry for this art.”

Laurie Halse Anderson, National Book Award finalist, author of Speak

“A gorgeously designed, uplifting book.”

Naomi Shihab Nye, U.S. Young People’s Poet Laureate

“Thank you for the book of damn fine poetry … Yee Haw!”

Tom Hanks, actor, author, typewriter enthusiast
