Typewriter Rodeo: From poems to publishing

"Typewriter Rodeo is an exciting project that implicates perfect strangers in the business of poetry." --Billy Collins, two-term Poet Laureate of the United States
Chances are, if you've been to a book event in Texas, you've seen a few folks sitting at a table on the side pounding out poems on-demand on manual typewriters.

Since 2013 Typewriter Rodeo has been a part of the Texas literary scene, but they've also been showcased from the Boston Harbor to the Puget Sound. Now, they have a new book out, and we're pleased to feature them as a part of our National Poetry Month coverage.
Be sure and read their poem! PLUS, BONUS AUDIO!
