Typewriter Rodeo writes poems on-the-spot, on old typewriters (no AI allowed), at events all across the country. Universe at the Tips of Your Toes is a collection of favorites they did for actual kids & teens, who came up to their table—in person, face-to-face—and asked for a poem on topics like fear, friendship, & farts, plus hundreds more.

​

By Rodeo poets Sean Petrie, Rebecca Bendheim, Megan Benedict, Jodi Egerton, Shanna Gerlach, & Jena Kirkpatrick.

​

Perfect for classrooms & school libraries.

​

Includes the stories behind each poem, writing tips from the poets, and a unique Rodeo-designed learning tool—a set of “po-mojis” (poetry skills emojis) to help students identify & use various poetic techniques.
