Incredible question asked to writers at a reading and discussion on grief at . Their responses were so honest that we want to ask you the same thing: if your feelings of grief were tangible, perceivable, something you could hold in your hands, what would they manifest as?

February is here, and the most poetic holiday of the year is fast approaching. Are you wondering what is the most romantic place you can whisk yourself and a loved one away to for Valentines or Galentines? We thought so. Trust the poets and check out our reasoning and recommendations on the blog. And yes, Ars Poetica typewriter poets are accessible in each of these beautiful, amorous locales.

We will always show up to celebrate, nurture, and put words to your love: any form of love you feel.

Have you heard of feng shui… POETRY?

Maybe not, because .us and and poet laureate INVENTED IT just last year.

As professional performance poets and empathic creative entertainers, we’re always looking for an experimenting with new art forms, and this east-west blend is touching, inspiring, and profound.

Lunar New Year is coming: are you celebrating with an event?

Feng Shui Typewriter Poetry could be just the thing.

Check out our blog post all about it.

Photo creds to Jonathan Moore for the lovely shot of Jen walking with parasol, and Amy J Smith for the Buddha capture.

Three haiku (or perhaps haiku-ish poems) for the following topics:

1. Cold water plunging
2. Working out
3. “Something to tide me over until spring”

Final slide is a candid photo of a beautiful woman reading her poem. I loved the way she savored it.

Thanks for letting us write custom typewriter poems at your gallery opening last week!

Our interactive word art experience always pairs so well with visual art and gallery shows because it becomes a way to more deeply process what you see and help individual attendees connect with themselves and each other.

And a glass of wine surrounded by art lovers is a win for everyone. 😚

The quotes in ’s new book hit you where it hurts. In a good way.

As poets, we’re always shedding light in the places others are afraid to.

As entertainers, we provide the medicine with a spoonful of sugar.

As community members, we help each other stay the course, stay healthy, stay resilient and abundant.

Through our work, we rewrite our own characters, and the stories of humanity.

Have we written you a poem yet?

Book typewriter poets for Galentines, Valentines, or an upcoming conference, festival, wedding, or birthday. You’ll see what we mean.

How does the Account Management and Creative Agent program work?

Step 1: Plant a Seed

Join our first 90-minute intro training session on Jan 23 (one additional date will be available too) You are totally welcome to join this first session even if you're not *sure* you want to commit to the whole program. It's broad and helpful for any sort of freelance creative business.

Step 2: Grow Your Roots

If we both feel like there’s a fit for you as an AP Account Manager and Creative Agent, you’ll join the subsequent two 2-hour deep dive trainings, complete with all the tools you need, the strategies we’ve used to become the top creative entertainment and typewriter poet agency in the world, and opportunities to practice basic selling and business development techniques.

Step 3: Start to Sprout

To graduate, you’ll do a self-directed project that takes about 3 hours to complete, and get 1:1 feedback and help with an AP team leader.

Step 4: Unfurl Your Leaves

You and the rest of your cohort will get to implement your new skills to field incoming inquiries, pursue your own opportunities, and build your book of business with just a few hours per week on your own time (of course the more time you commit the quicker you will grow and start earning your own entrepreneurial income) with help, mentorship, guided coworking, and tools provided by the whole AP HQ team.

Step 5: Bloom with Friends

Within a few weeks of dedicated effort, you can expect to see results in your life in three key areas:
* Material Resilience (money in your bank account)
* Creative Freedom (your interest + effort = your income on your terms)
* Spiritual Satisfaction (no soul-sucking “boss,” more time to pursue your dreams and take good care of yourself)

All my love,

After getting feedback from our first cohort, here are just a few quotes from the Account Managers themselves:

“I’ve thrown myself all in, and been extremely pleased with the pay off of my work. Not just because I’ve closed deals or made money, but the satisfaction of confidently pitching myself, and learning how to ‘sell’ my art.”

“It has been incredibly wonderful to work within a community and team mentality.”

“When I’ve brought up my struggles, I’ve received attention and care, and when I speak of my victories I receive cheers.”

“I’ve grown so much in my confidence as a writer, artist, and entrepreneur. It’s honestly still crazy to me that I do this, and I can’t wait to grow.”

In a nutshell, 2023 was ’s best year EVER, and I attribute that very much to Zoe (.and.phrase) and the launch of our Creative Agents Account Management Program this Fall.

I had the idea to create the program a couple years ago, and with all the layoffs and artificial intelligence losing a lot of freelance writers their jobs, I realized it was of critical importance to share my knowledge with empathic artists striving to survive and dare I say thrive in a challenging landscape and economy.

We launched the training in August.

10 of 11 poets who underwent the training and joined the program have gone on to become AP Junior Account Managers, fielding incoming inquiries with our support, building their personal confidence, and amassing professional skills and financial literacy they didn’t have just 4 months ago. I cried reading some of their feedback at the end of the year.

We designed this training to be accessible to anyone who has fluency in English, a laptop with google chrome, a smartphone, fast reliable wifi, and these five characteristics:

1. ambition
2. curiosity
3. empathy
4. creativity
5. self-determination

Sound like you? If so, we are stoked to invite you to join our second cohort! We start the week of January 22nd and only have space for about 3 more artists to join us.

Quick haiku for showing human vulnerability with so much bravery, sweetness, and of course raunchy laughs.

And a jaw-dropping, screenshot-inducing beautiful quote from which pretty much sums up our dream in co-creating the movement.

And! A sneak peek of Ars Poetica and Storyville’s new office at - our first office WITH ITS OWN DOOR!!! We’ll be filling this space with art, poetry, coziness, snacks, mutual support, and creative capacity building all year. Come visit!

Discounted earlybird tickets for the first Storyville Narratique in Louisville KY dropped yesterday - did you snag one? We want our closest community to get in at the most affordable rate possible and we’re inviting folks to pay it forward so we can have a reservoir of discounted tickets for those who will benefit from the access.

Be brave. Your story deserves to be told, held, and embodied, not stolen, sold, and scrolled.

2023 has been bursting at the seams with momentous growth and brand new opportunities, decisions, and challenges. Never a dull moment!

If you’re seeing this and haven’t heard of our new project, , this is your invitation to engage with this concept, join this movement, and become a Friend of Storyville.

Here are just ten of us, the growing group of poets, designers, folk singers, fine artists, community builders, writers, leaders, dreamers and dang hard workers who are joining ourselves together in service of a vision that is bigger than ourselves, and brighter than the darkness around us.

This is a post of gratitude for everyone who has already become a Friend of Storyville, and an invitation for anyone who feels called to contribute and join us on this journey.

You can make an end-of-year tax-deductible contribution via our fiscal sponsor , which would be increidbly helpful to us at this time as we’re investing a huge amount of time and money in the creation of this container to nurture our creative liberation.

Then, starting January 5th 2024 we’ll drop a first batch of early bird tickets!

Then, on January 8th our committees will start the cooperative work of managing every element of the festival: from artist hospitality to environmental regenerative practices to safety and accessibility, culinary programming, to outreach to youth and elders. You can join a committee remotely (we have friends in NYC, DC, Austin, and Cali already!) or come work with us IRL at our first office with a door at ♾️

There’s a way to participate for everyone who feels that this world needs a little more imagination, a little more unity, a little more play.

Mushroom bard must tell his tale
To awaken dragons across the land
Laughter opens portals
Inside of mere mortals

Had to ask and to whip up a magic poetic blessing for as he passed through Louisville’s own on his psychedelic comedy storytelling tour.

If you missed the sold out show last night, you’re in luck: they added two more shows on Thursday.

Really thoughtful and funny take on the evolution of human consciousness and all the weird plants and chemicals that have influenced that journey ✨

Also… save the date for our very own storytelling event, March 22 at Portal too! 🗞️📚🎉

@sheinelle_o managed to not only showcase the magic of interactive love poetry performance, but then even dared to try it herself and create a delightful poem herself, with @flora.and.phrase and @jayshawnllee on the @todayshow this morning. After over ten years of hard work to build our community of collaborative and empathic performance artists, the world is starting to take notice! Delighted by this feature and can’t wait to do more. Who knows… maybe even live on the air one day?? Honored beyond words (ironically) and looking forward to a busy and beautiful Fall and Holiday season, and exciting new bookings and projects in 2024.
