Who are you?

Hi, my name is Peter Chinman.

In Spring 2017 I quit my job and started writing poems for strangers.

I sit in Washington Square Park in New York City with a sign that says ASK ME FOR A POEM.

I’ve written poems for 10,000+ people.

 

Can I hire you for events?

Yes. Email me at: peter dot chinman at gmail dot com. I’ve worked various events: weddings, openings, parties, receptions. I can provide references upon request.
