Join us online Friday, February 24 at 6pm when we’ll livestream an Artist Talk with poet Pierce Logan of QWERT Poetry. Danny Shot is the host. 

The Museum’s next Upper Gallery exhibit, “From a Yuppie’s Typewriter,” features Logan’s work, and opens on Sunday, February 26 with a reception at 2pm. Logan says, “All typewritten poems are based off the chapters of Joseph Barry and John Derevlany’s ‘Yuppies Invade my Home at Dinnertime,’ a compilation of Hoboken-resident-submitted letters to The Hoboken Reporter.” Logan will also talk about the events he is hosting at the Museum on Sundays, March 5 and Sunday, March 26 where guests will participate in a typewriting session to compose their own “letters” that will then live as part of the exhibition. Be a part of history and your community!

Pierce Logan is a writer, English teacher, and poet based in New Jersey. Pierce began QWERT Poetry, a custom typewriter commissions company, in 2015 and has since composed hundreds of original poems on a typewriter for strangers. The mission of QWERT Poetry began as an effort to gain exposure with his writing and later turned into an opportunity to inspire more celebration into our lives by offering the space to commission something personal. Pierce has authored several books including QWERT Poetry’s Favorite Requests, Volume I, publishing several original scans of requested poems, Oblong and Bedrock, early poetry collections, and “HOUSE OF PAIN”, an epic poem which will be reformatted into a theatrical production in 2023 and 2024. Find published work in FATHERFATHER Magazine, The Spectre Literary Review Magazine, Writer’s Pocket, SOUP CAN Magazine, and Free The Verse. Press includes Tap Into Hoboken, podcast interview at The Life Eclectic, and the artist’s first solo exhibition at Green Hive Atelier in Union City, New Jersey with eight original framed pieces October 2022-December 2022.
