Poetry Postcard Fest co-founder Paul Nelson interviews Judy Jensen on her experience with the Poetry Postcard Festival.
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.
Part of the Cascadia 2050 mission is: to inspire artists and poets of the next generation to consider bioregionalism and intuitive poetic approach as a way to foster a more just and sustainable Cascadia by 2050. To this end, one of our goals is to interview people who help us spread awareness by having practices in their lives that reflect these values. This interview with Postcard Poet Laura Gamache, a Seattle who has published poetry in the usual places, such as chapbooks, journals and anthologies, and also unusual places, such as buses, is the first of the series.
Alo-HA Judy- nice inner view and a glimpse into your “introverted-ness”…thank you…Frieda, Emily D & Mary Oliver are fast becoming my friends for coffee in the morning…AND I am happy to know that you have been an active participant in the PoPo Fest for every year that it has been around…I also feel that I will “always” be a participant, however, I will hold your mentor-ship as a nice uplifting goal to have…Namaste StanleydelGozo
A cheery and heart warming interview. Judy telling about her different muses each year are
very inspiring to me. It is encouraging to listen to Judy and Paul talk about the guidelines but
no rules. Accepting of every form / every one. Thank you for your openness and sharing
… I feel I missed a lot not finding facebook til ten years ago. and then taking so many years to find
the wealth of community that can be found in people with a common but different journey.
Thank you both for your wonderful spirits of the joy of sharing post card poetry. 🙂 <3
