The latest postcard poem from the 2014 August Poetry Postcard Fest.
August 19, 2014, Seattle, WA
“Holiness does not dissolve, it is a
presence / of bronze.” – Denise Levertov
The Cholula sacramental
marching band scatters
rose petals in a
trail toward the
pyramid. Puebla
pigeons’ll eat
chicharrónes if you
let them & each
South American butterfly
has a nation & a national
flag.
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.
