Our lives are what we make of them.

Who (or what) is a StoryTailor?

Customized poetry in as few as 3 of your Earth minutes, from Boston, Massachusetts-based poet and performer Emily Duggan.

Request a customized poem, or bring me into your event (wedding! family reunion! art gallery opening! museum exhibition! the sky is limitless) to write short poems on the spot for your guests.

Okay, yes, but then who (or why?) is Emily Duggan?

  • Something to the tune of:

    poet, performer, ghost tour guide, unofficial poet laureate of Boston’s Granary Burying Ground, Playback Theatre artist, improv comedian in a past life, reformed distance runner, dog aficionado, overzealous cat parent, loving spouse, triplet sister, exhausting daughter, shorter than you might think, and writer of very-fast poems since at least 2021.

    …and a 2025-26 Mount Auburn Cemetery Artist-in-Residence!

    Here’s my actual resume.
