Chicago’s premier on-demand typewriter poetry experience

Street scene during a public event with multiple tents and people walking. A woman in the foreground is smiling and holding a fan with the words 'WORD,' 'to,' 'get,' 'a,' and 'poem' visible. She is seated at a table with a typewriter and papers. The woman is wearing glasses and a floral dress. An umbrella shades her. The background shows more tents, trees, and urban buildings, with banners hanging from street lamps, indicating a festival or market.
