Till Gwinn, a local street poet, sits with legs spread apart behind his vintage typewriter on Portland's Alberta Street, putting finishing touches on a custom poem for a customer. His chalkboard sign advertises 'Poetry of Your Prerogative Topics' with handwritten details about pricing and payment options. The afternoon light bathes the scene as cars pass by on this bustling Northeast Portland thoroughfare, capturing the intersection of urban life and creative expression in one of the city's most vibrant neighborhoods.
