About me
I’m Juan, your local Typewriter Poet. I write typewritten poems on the spot to help strangers feel seen, understood, and a little less alone. My table holds a pocket of time where your voice and story are allowed to take space in the form of a conversation, a moment of reflection, and finally, a poem for you to take home.
Juan's Featured Interview
After Hurricane Milton impacted the Tampa Bay community, Juan took his typewriter to the streets with a simple intention: to offer words of comfort through poetry. Sitting in public spaces, he wrote personalized poems for people passing by—creating small but meaningful moments of connection during a difficult time.
What began as a heartfelt gesture quickly captured the attention of the community and local media. In this interview with Tampa Bay News, Juan shares the story behind this experience and how poetry can bring reflection, hope, and human connection when people need it most.
This feature highlights the power of creativity and the role poetry can play in bringing people together, even in the aftermath of a storm.
