Letters from the Light: Commissioned Poems for COVID-19 Relief

Strange times.

Many of us are in places with lockdown restrictions. We cannot go visit friends and family.

Events are cancelled as well.

As typewriter poets, Joseph Jablonski, Mark Petersen, and I love the atmosphere at big gathering where we can interact with people and create poems for them. Distilleries, wineries, parties, weddings…it’s always been a wonderful experience.

That’s on hold now, but we still want to offer connections and hope.

Head to the Typewriter Poets website, where you can order a commissioned poem for yourself or for a loved one in isolation. Choose a topic, meet your poet via video chat or phone call, and get two copies of the poem mailed to you. 50% of the proceeds of any poem ordered through the end of May will be donated to first responders and charities serving those affected by COVID-19 in the Maryland & Virginia region.
