The Poem Pros
A growing phenomenon since 2017!
All it takes is your love to send typewritten words by mail
History of The Poem Pros
We are often asked when our project started and why we do what we do. Here's our story.
Founded from a desire to send heartfelt words into the world, The Poem Pros has become a grand experiment—to put poetry and love directly onto paper and share it with the world.
In May 2017, Alixander Court sat at The Urban Flea Market with his Brother Echelon 77 Tabulator and typed his first message for the Salt Lake City crowd. That was the birth of The Poem Pros. Not long after, someone asked him to mail one. Inspired by the idea, he invited others to donate and "pay it forward" by getting their typewritten words delivered.
Since then, hundreds of messages have been mailed, and The Poem Pros has been invited to events of all kinds. Eventually, people begged us to create a website—so our fans could spread their heartfelt words online and give us credit for them.
