Poetry Postcard Fest co-founder Paul Nelson interviews T. Clear on her experience with the august POetry POstcard festival.
The last 2026 Poetry Postcard Activation is set for June 6 from 11a-1pm at Pritchard Beach in Seattle’s Rainier Beach neighborhood with postcard collage making, future-centric poetry prompts, local history and a vision for the venue in the future.
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.
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.
Oh, wonderful interview! So good to see you,T, and hear your incredible postcard poems again. Miss the open mics with you, Paul and the Easy Speak community. Watching both of you kibbitz was delightful.
This was such a treat, Paul and T.!
Thank you both!
By the way, I wrote a one libation cycle haiku series from October 27 to November 26! So I guess i’ve advanced to the seriality stage with POPO … we will see. So loved seeing and hearing this!
Stay well,
Laura G.
Libation was supposed to be lunation but libations are a yes too.
I watched this interview twice … delightful .. the discussion on seriality has be hooked.
Being a fan of groups or serial paintings / art work, the concept of a series has usually not
been long lived for me … an impossible dream.
With the lively discussion, ideas started percolating off of short series of poems that have
been wandering around my thoughts for a while. Yee Haw !
Thanks for the enjoyable listen. 🙂 <3
