About anja Notanja Sieger, Typewriter Poet & Artist 

I am an analog artist living in a digital world. Typewriter poetry, performance art, paper cutting, drawing, live radio, and stories are the mediums I use to make sense of life. Improvisation defines my work because split-second decisions thrill me. What wisdom rises to the surface by following instinct? Spelunking the present scene reveals recurring themes—supernatural presence, feral psyche, humorously rebelling against fear, and revering the underacknowledged minutiae of daily life. 

I’ve been typewriting poems at public and private events since 2011. To book me: notanja@gmail.com  You can even order a poem on this site (see my shop).
