More Salish art and a poem resulting from what the postcard fest instructions suggested since year 1, that is “something of the here and now” should/could get into the poem.

Postcards from Where I Have Never Been by Margaret Lee
From PPF Committee Member Margaret Lee: Last year, my theme for the Fest was Postcards from Where I Have Never Been....
“the poem reveals
its own
suppleness”
in gray Autumn
waning
the face
of my interconnected
self
traversed
by spiders
on two sides
of the glass
