Bloom:: A Private Poetry Experience with Poet & Creative Coach, Molly Ovenden
You may recognize Molly from a segment of The Lift or you may have seen her with her typewriter near Yellow Bike at Fitger’s! She is gifting the first 50 General Admission ticket holders for Bloom a personalized poem written just for you, your baby, or your mom in celebration of new life and motherhood.
You will get a message from Molly Ovenden to schedule a 30 minute live online writing session. Then, you’ll speak with the writer herself about a topic for your poem and she’ll write it for you live via Zoom. The words and the experience are yours to keep.
You may request a copy of the poem typed on a vintage typewriter (just pay postage and handling)–this typewritten poem makes the most unique and gorgeous piece of nursery decor.
Each of these poems will be curated in an *exclusive* Duluth Mom Community Poetry Collection. As one of the 50 involved, you’ll get the chance to purchase the special hardcover keepsake collection for 20% off.
