M. SEVEN BREMNER

C O N T A C T

Seven was born in Frankfurt, Germany in 1983 (the daughter of American parents) and currently resides in Olympia, WA. She was first introduced to the Poem Store in 2015 and fell in love with the spontaneity of it and the opportunity to interact and connect with her community. She is often found with her typewriter at the Olympia Farmer's Market as well as the Ballard Farmer's Market in Seattle.

Seven's poetry, philosophical writing, and oil paintings are greatly inspired by Hermetic and other esoteric teachings that focus on themes of unification, wholeness, and the exploration of human potential. More of her work can be seen on her website and Patreon account.

C O N T A C T

In 2013, a poet friend invited Elliot to the Pacific Northwest, where the arts, woven of culture, are transformed through community.

SHANNON RAE

Shannon's long-term love-affair with the typewriter began in 2010 with her first Smith-Corona. Though she had always enjoyed writing, her current poetry is a child of that union- in which the medium is also the muse.

Shannon can often be found in the western cascades of Washington where she practices being a skillionaire, works in a woodshop, and writes.

poetry saved her life
and she is not the only one
so, in reverent prose
she makes payments
on this debt of gratitude
with every little clack.

Currently typing on a 1939 Royal Quiet

SARAH MARIA DOS SANTOS

C O N T A C T

Born 1789 Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil
Lives and works in Brooklyn & Manhattan

Alas! A goddess, Sarah Maria Dos Santos is a phantom, artist who surveys the principles of causality and sub-consciousness. When will I invent your dreamy stare? In this promising day, I saw the illusion of the raindrop. The (fallen) love sat on my lip. Fine, only you know. You know Calypso? In this fleeting moment, I really loved you so. I will be near the river - over there. I was ashamed, broken heart. I crossed the street. I looked out my window. We are needed by this fleeting world; I wish I could have been there. Been what you needed. It rained. She ran outside. Sem voçê. And then like a promise, a series of kisses, all different from each other like diamonds and rubies like heaven she danced with me. Just like that, shes gonna get you. Hey, hey!
