About Megan Bennington
I am a Calgary-based poet and artist offering live pop-up poetry and custom poem commissions for meaningful moments. At pop-up poetry events, I create poems with people, transforming their stories and ideas into something tangible and lasting.
I am available for live poetry events, poem commissions, art commissions, and creative collaborations.
Work With Me
Live Event
Pop - Up Poetry
I write personalized poems in real time for guests at events. Perfect for markets, libraries, festivals, weddings, and community gatherings. Every poem is written on a manual type-writer, ensuring each one is truly one-of-a-kind.
Custom Poetry Commissions
I can write personalized poems for weddings, anniversaries, memorials, birthdays, and meaningful gifts.
Creative Collaborations
I am open to partnerships with organizations, libraries, events, and creative projects that bring poetry, writing, and art into community spaces.
MY WRITING
My poems have been featured in FreeFall Literary Magazine, NewForum Literary Magazine, and on ARC Poetry's website as a winner of the ARC Award of Awesomeness.
I've created live poetry at libraries, university events, and community celebrations across Calgary as a pop-up poet.
