The Spontaneous Prose Store


You might have caught the tail end of her interview on CBC one morning, like I did. She takes her typewriter to the streets of Toronto, setting up shop in different neighbourhoods. The products she sells are type-written poetry and prose, inspired by passerbys like you and I.


You can give her a theme, first line or title and she will rapidly do the rest, producing a piece of written work for you on sticker paper. We came by her in Kensington Market and were quite delighted. We gave her the title "The Methodology of Baking" (long story). Check out the poem she wrote for us:


Makes for pretty neat collaborative work between strangers. You can follow Kaile's wordpress for more!
