The Pop-Up Poetry Salon
One-of-a-kind Poems
|
"I had the pleasure of having Marie at my birthday party, where she spontaneously created poems for my guests. Marie helped make the evening so special and unique -- not only because of the personalized poems she wrote, but because of the energy she brought. She was joyful, kind, professional and personable. I have a heartwarming image of her in my mind sitting at a table behind her vintage typewriter, with a warm, welcoming smile on her face. Everyone loved speaking with her and was blown away by her talent. Marie took her time to really listen to her "subjects" and from those short conversations, she created the most special keepsakes. She was amazing. I have my poem hanging proudly in my office. I love it. I cannot recommend her highly enough! - Jessica J, Miami Beach

"Marie Whitman created spontaneous poems at my gallery, during one of the art walks. Eventually I became curious myself. I approached & gave her three words I thought she'd never be able to place together in a poem about me. My words were lunch, wild & cosmos. The challenge was on! Wow! I was actually moved. What had been a game became something profound, like she had seen inside & brought out my very best qualities through language & verse. I hang my poem on a wall near the kitchen, where I can read it anytime I need an affirmation."
