Live typewriter poems and poem-inspired cocktail collaborations
Have a guest’s conversation become a poem—and perhaps a drink.
Charlottesville Poem Store
Laura Frantz composes original poems live on a manual typewriter for wedding guests and private gatherings. The studio also offers a separate hospitality-residency format in which a bartender interprets a guest’s freshly typed poem as a bespoke cocktail.
Current location note / listed area: Greene County near Charlottesville, Virginia
The poem-to-cocktail collaboration is advertised as a selective hospitality residency, not a standard wedding bar package. Confirm whether that format can be adapted; do not assume alcohol service is supplied by the poet. Confirm guest throughput, travel and dates.
