Notes: Typing Explosion Union Local 898 was founded by Sarah Paul Ocampo, Rachel LaRue Kessler and Sierra Nelson in Seattle, WA five years ago. These three in vintage 1960's secretarial clothing are seated behind three Olivetti Valentine typewriters perform typing. The poems they composed are based on a title suggestion from audience participants, who select a title from the pre-typed index cards provided by the typists. The typists alert the audience that a poem is finished by honking their bike horns. The participant signs for their poem, and receives an original Typing Explosion poem with an official stamp created from the title they chose. The Typing Explosion keeps a carbon copy of every poem produced.

A collection of poems once were given to the audiences; a pocket glued on p. [3] of cover with a due date slip inserted.

Library has copy no. 25/250 signed by the artists.
