About Poetry Von Chelle

Poetry Von Chelle

Owner, Artist

Poetry Von Chelle is an intuitive on-the-spot typewriter poet, a unique art form that blends the timeless craft of poetry writing with the spontaneity of a live performance. With the star of the show, a vintage typewriter, Von Chelle takes literary snapshots of heartfelt human connection and crafts it into words of wisdom and wonder. Each poem is a reflection of the moment, turning brief interactions into heartwarming and memorable verse. The tactile experience of hearing the typewriter keys strike the paper adds an element of nostalgia and authenticity, making each poem an immersive and intimate experience for all.

A typewriter poet will heighten the ambiance of any venue with an intellectual and romantic air. Guests will sit with me for about 10 minutes where I will have a short and thoughtful conversation with them about the topic or prompt of their choice, work on the poem on my typewriter on the spot, and then read the poem as part of a mini performance that is intimately just for them. I package the poem in an elegant envelope that matches the event’s color palette. The guests get to take home a customized poem as a party favor that they will remember for a very long time because of how my poems made them feel.

In three words: Creative, Thoughtful, Whimsical

  • A: An evening made brighter by Poetry Von Chelle

    Yvonne was amazing! She filled in last-minute for my wife and I’s wedding with only a couple days of notice after our original poet had a family emergency. Her style was integral to the romantic ambience we wanted for our guests: an intimate dinner party for our friends and family. 
 So many of our guests gushed about how fun and special it was to have a poem written for them. Since Yvonne sent photos of all the poems, we got to share in our guests’ experiences the following morning! I was struck by Yvonne’s style — while the themes of the poems (love, family, relationships) were similar for many people, she was still able to create unique and personal poems that spoke to them and their experiences. We would wholeheartedly recommend Yvonne to anyone looking for memorable addition to any celebration!

    We had Yvonne at a wedding I coordinated, and it was such a hit! Guests absolutely loved the experience — watching their words and feelings transformed into beautiful, heartfelt poems right before their eyes. It added such a thoughtful and artistic touch to the day, and people couldn’t stop talking about it. Yvonne was wonderful to work with — friendly, professional, and so intuitive with each guest. It brought such a special energy to the event and created moments everyone will remember. I’d definitely recommend Yvonne to anyone looking to add something unique and meaningful to their celebration!
