Poem Store is a performance-business-poetry piece that consists of composing custom poetry on a manual typewriter, in exchange for a donation. Your subject, your price.

In 2009, Jacqueline Suskin met poet Zachary Houston who changed her life by sharing his profession. She has been devoted to Poem Store ever since.

If you have a poem that Jacqueline wrote for you, she would appreciate a copy. Although it is all yours, she likes to see what she writes...
