The Cards I Got (2018)

September 4, 2018
by Ryukan

Here are two short videos of the postcards I received during the 12th Poetry Postcard Fest. #APPF12. These cards were the ones I received by September 4, 2018. 50 as of mail delivery time today. I am humbled and honored at how this fest has evolved. To folks like Judy Jensen, who said: “As a longtime participant, the fest has become a fixed part of the calendar, as established as Easter or Thanksgiving or Christmas” and to Terry Holzman, who is a postcard machine and contributes so much to this community, and to everyone who has participated, even the people like Raymond Maxwell and Anthony Kolasny and others who sat out this year, my humble appreciation.

    It was a great August – sorry it’s over as the postcards – sending and receiving – make my day worth so much more.

Reflection on Poetry Postcard Trees (& Photos!)

We need to learn from Fujitaro and see the gardens that can grow from our wastelands, from the Pacific trash heap to the City of Seattle dump to the logged former forestland to the filled in estuaries of rivers like the Duwamish that make the Port of Seattle or Marshlands that make Baltimore’s inner harbor to the sprawl of LA and suburbs around all cities in this country to the merciless businesses of insurance and pharmaceuticals and lobbying and media (social, in particular) and AI and bottled water and so on.
