Philly Typewriter was honored to hold the "Atop an Underwood Reading Series" hosted by Dream Poet For Hire, Marshal Kavanaugh. At the start of a cold night in East Passyunk, the shop was filled (and we do mean filled!!!) with the warmth of so many amazing people. ❤️
Artists, poets, writers, and those who appreciate the spoken and written word poured into our showroom, and even our workshop. A packed audience got to hear from three featured readers, Julian Ortman, Blew Kind & Quinn Rodriguez, in addition to many more folk who took to the mic. Amazing! 👏 👏
The event was built around a celebration of 100 years of Kerouac, so typewriters did get a chance for involvement in the evening as guests got to type on an incredible set up of scrolls in our front window that were then read at the end of the night.
It is our aspiration to continue to be a safe and inviting space for everyone to come with more events like this reading series in the future. 🎤
That being said, whether you want to come in and type poetry or songs, have your group meetings here or just hang out with a cup of tea or coffee, feel free to use our space as your space.
Our thanks to everyone who came from near and far and Dream Poet For Hire for hosting such an incredible night. ✨️ 📃 🌙
We hope to see you all again in the new year.
