Poetry can become part of the place.

A residency gives guests repeated opportunities to encounter a poet at work. They can offer three words, a theme, or a sentiment and leave with an original poem typed for them on cardstock.

The arrangement can be weekly, monthly, seasonal, or built around a series of programmed dates. I can work with the property’s team to shape the schedule, location, guest flow, and visual presentation.

I am comfortable in active hospitality settings and can work with music, crowds, and changing room energy while keeping each encounter personal.
