APPF Promo PostcardRegistration for the 13th August Poetry Postcard Fest is now open and we’re already at about half the total of participants from 2018. https://appf13.brownpapertickets.com/

The first few lists will go out on July 4 and registration for 2019 will end and will OPEN for APPF14 (2020) as we move to year-round registration so no one misses out on the deadline.

Rattle MagazineThis year Rattle Magazine will put out a call for postcard poems for a special issue they will be doing and that will include an essay on the August Poetry Postcard Festival written by your humble narrator and postcard master general. Yes, we will keep you apprised when that is available. Their issue will NOT be limited to current APPF participants, but getting 31 poems written this August will surely increase your chances of getting a poem published in their postcard issue.

Sam O’Hana on How to Support Working Class Poets

Sam O’Hana on How to Support Working Class Poets

When I said that what’s good for general society is also good for poets, I’m talking about a series of cultural opportunities where a much wider stretch of people are allowed to take the opportunity to become writers. I came back from a conference last week where I presented some research on the demographic aspects of the New American poets. The poets that were born and came to maturity in the early to mid-20th century were beneficiaries of broad national scale longevity gains. This [includes] things like pushbacks against tuberculosis, against polio, against poor nutrition and infant mortality. These are gains that were made by the medical and scientific institutions, but also by general prosperity, by making more food available to more people and making that food shelf stable for longer. So, when you talk about what might make it possible for poor people to do more creative work, you could start by saying well we should just give people more money, but the fact of the matter is that plenty of people already have the wealth they need, they just don’t actually have any time.
