Finding the Muse

In 2009, Jacqueline Suskin opened up her Poem Store, which meant packing up her typewriter everyday, taking off on her bicycle and setting up shop at the Hollywood Farmer’s Market in Los Angeles to write poems for people. In the 10 years she made that her job, she wrote over 40,000 poems for ordinary citizens. This is how she learned about humanity, about people, how we all have the same longings, and the same heartbreaks.
