Charlotte Matthews brings her 1941 Corona portable typewriter to create an original poem for you. A person can request a poem about someone or something. Then she asks the customer to pick a few objects and words from the basket of selections she provides. She composes the poem on the spot in a few minutes. Great activity for all ages! Requires a ticket which can be purchased on site.
Matthews is a poet and professor at UVA. Her published works include a memoir "Comes with Furniture and People", a novel, The Collapsible Mannequin", and three poetry collections, “Still Enough to Be Dreaming” and “Green Stars,” and “Whistle What Can’t Be Said.” Her work has appeared in the Virginia Quarterly Review, Borderlands, Ecotone, Tar River Poetry and storySouth. She received the 2007 New Writers Award from the Fellowship for Southern Writers. She earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from Warren Wilson College’s Program for Writers.
