Brian Sonia-Wallace and his “public typewriter” will transform the stories people share into instant-poems on the spot for participants.


In a novel approach to breaking down barriers between writing and the general public, Brian Sonia-Wallace and his “public typewriter” will transform the stories people share into instant-poems on the spot for participants to take home as a memento of their experience.


Brian will spend two weeks writing poems for those who seek him out and unsuspecting passersby alike. He will also compile the texts created into a single meta-text that weaves together the breadth of experiences people bring to this space. Visitors can also bring Brian stories, poems, pictures, and histories to become part of the tapestry of words.
