Everyone's Type

Lisa Farver

⠀⠀Each time I get to write typewriter poetry for a stranger, whether at a bustling arts festival, on a moonlit street corner, at a local middle school or at an upscale gala, I am gobsmacked by the shared humanity, the mutual oomph of existence and the synchronicity of this seemingly random encounter.

⠀⠀As one of the most experienced typewriter poets in Chicago, I have written more than 4,000 poems on my more than 30 vintage typewriters. To me, these impromptu odes, these sudden sonnets are more than mere transactions, more than mere pieces of paper.

⠀⠀In 2019, while working on a shared poetry venture, I began to call our clients “muses.” That’s because you are truly my inspiration and an endless reminder that everything is poetry.

⠀⠀I’m here to offer commissions, event appearances, workshops and, more importantly, to help make every moment shimmer more poetic with my theatrical personality and my love of typewriter poetry. It’s my mission to make typewriter poetry and performance art more accessible and approachable in Chicago and beyond.

⠀⠀I have been featured on WGN Morning News, WGN Spotlight, FOX 32 Chicago, NBC Chicago, BlockClub Chicago and more. Do you have a vision you’d like brought to life? I’ll tailor a poetic experience that suits you perfectly. After all, I’m Everyone’s Type.

    About

    ⠀⠀Using staples, neon crayons and way too much gusto, I self-published my first book at six years old. Later that day, I found it in the trash at my school’s library.
    Since then, I’ve made it my mission to write fearlessly and to give voice to others through my words.

    ⠀⠀As a graduate of Second City’s Conservatory, Music Conservatory and Writing Program, I’m well-trained in improvisation and working as part of a team.

    ⠀⠀Over the past 15 years, I’ve written professionally in and around Chicago. My professional experience includes:

  • Field reporting
  • Marketing
  • Poetry performance
  • Social media management
  • Copywriting
  • Editing
  • Copy editing
  • Teaching

    • ⠀⠀With a versatile voice, a chameleon-level adaptability, and that irrepressible enthusiasm, I can help put anything you imagine into words. After all, I’m Everyone’s Type.
