Live typewritten guest poems
Give guests a poem composed on an antique typewriter.
The Traveling Typist / Matthew Robinson
Matthew Robinson, The Traveling Typist, offers personally composed typewritten poems at weddings and other celebrations. Guests encounter the writer and leave with a physical literary keepsake. His separate custom-order service also accepts hand-typed wedding invitations and personal cards using different typefaces and ribbon colors from his typewriter collection.
Current location note / listed area: Portland, Oregon; live event poetry and separate typed keepsake commissions
