This year the Poetry Postcard Fest celebrates its 20th anniversary. From the fest many a creative project has spawned, and one recent example of that is Julie Master’s book: No Headlines Here: Postcard Poems.
Notes on the last Poetry Postcard Activation for 2026 at Pritchard Beach in Seattle.
Postcarding and DaySonging (A Workshop). In this session it will be a presentation of how the postcard fest developed, how the daysong developed, how I prepare for the fest and how participants attending prepare for the fest, as well as how to prepare for a successful daysong. The similarities of the daysong to serial poetry could be discussed, as well as the effort to put one’s self into the open, which has benefits in one’s own life.
I loved getting this poem Paul, thank you. I wrote a poem a couple years ago with a mile-wide reference to True Stories and no one picked up on it. This card was perfect for me in that synchronisitic way this project works.
Rhonda,
I read it again as it came up in the cue and felt that the poem was ok, but at least the card was stellar. I LOVE that card and was saving it for something special. Thanks for the kind comment and for being a postcarder. Linda C is considering doing a postcard chapbook. You might want to check in with her. I hope we can make this a book based on excellence and not include the cheesy poems for the sake of “inclusion.” Paul P.S. Did you know Yvonne B is committed to coordinating Cascadia III in Victoria, May 2015? She cd use someone like you on the local Advisory Board. Consider.
