share your poetry

Our goal is to bring more poetry and intimate randomness into daily life. A mechanical vending machine, some paper, and collaborators from around the world help us make it happen – at least on one small street in Mexico City. Whether you are a Professional Poet or just finished writing your first poem, we encourage you to share. As long as it's not hateful, over 1300 characters, or plagiarized, we'll print it and add it to our ever-evolving shuffle of poems.

One person said this is like a non-creepy way to whisper into a stranger's ear. We kind of like that idea. Who knows whose hands and ears your words will end up in...

Note: Poems are sold at random for 5 pesos apiece. All earnings go to covering the costs of keeping this project going.
