Multidisciplinary creative, Lynn Gentry, who has entered his seventh year of writing for patrons will officially retire from performance based poetry on October 7th, 2015. Gentry will now only be found writing in public spaces on very rare occasions. Instead he plans to pursue print publication opportunities, brand-new independently produced online content, and exciting collaborations that cannot yet be released to the public. In order to reach out to patrons before his retirement, Gentry will be accepting a challenge to author seven hundred poems in just seven days! This online event will begin at 7AM Wednesday, October 7th and last through 7AM on Tuesday, October 13th. Similarly to the PayPal #poemgrams campaign (2014), he will be available around the clock to accept patron requests. Patrons can reach the poet via the request form or live chat feature on his website, lynngentry.com. In the spirit of his performance work, all are welcome to request a custom poem on the subject of their choice for a donation.
