Finding Poetry by Accident #4

I watch the gameshow Jeopardy every weekday evening at 7:30 pm on ABC. If I get a few of the questions correct I feel edified. 

     The contestants are always interesting individuals. Last night Molly Hackett was one such contestant. She described herself as a typewriter poet. A term with which I was unfamiliar.

     Of course, I did a Google search of the term and discovered it was not as unknown as I thought, 

     An AI overview says: A typewriter poet creates customized, impromptu poems for strangers or clients on-site using a vintage typewriter, usually within a few minutes. This interactive, performance-based art form often takes place in public spaces, weddings, or events, focusing on connection, listening, and crafting meaningful, tangible art from personal stories or topics provided by the recipient. 

• Process: The poet listens to a person's story or prompt, then immediately types a poem, often embracing typos as part of the creative process.
• Purpose: It aims to provide a moment of human connection, allowing strangers to share their stories and receive a thoughtful, hand-typed, and often mailed memento.
• Common Settings: The Poetry Society of New York and others often set up at festivals, markets, or in parks (e.g., in NYC).
• Key Themes: Typewriter poetry often touches on themes of love, loss, or daily life, providing a thoughtful and personal experience.
