I’m Kro, and I’ve created more than 10,000 spontaneous typewriter poems for the people of Chicago, and across the world. Give me a topic and I'll give you a poem. And I'll write it in two minutes or less on a vintage typewriter!

 My patrons are my muses; together we co-create a moment suspended in time. You may have seen me in action on METV, NBC 5’s Chicago Today, or on WBBM. Satisfied customers include Google, Amazon, Sargento, and more!

My offering is a spontaneous encounter and an intimate, utterly unique artistic experience. Let’s create something together.

“Kro is a grand wordsmith, simply put. They have the magnificent capacity to take a handful of seemingly random and unrelated words and weave them into a thing of beauty that tugs at the heart and activates the mind. If you are ever in need of a moment of delight and you have the opportunity to have Kro fashion a personal poem for you. Take that opportunity. You won’t regret it and you will smile for days because of it.

“Thank you so much for all of your help in making our wedding a perfect event!  Our guests have told us they were so impressed by your talents.  Your unique skills and presentation were exactly what we were looking for to help complete our day. Stellar!!”

“Kro is an enigmatic artist who lives poetry as much as they write it. I was intrigued when I saw their poetry stand at a music festival where I was performing. They welcomed me into their space, and with a potent presence requested a prompt. They deftly drafted an insightful and moving poem for me on the spot, and it is my most treasured souvenir from the festival.”
