Poetry Postcard Fest co-founder Paul Nelson interviews Karen Vande Bossche on her experience with the august POetry POstcard festival.
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.
Paul, my dear. Can you change my last name to Vande Bossche??
I enjoyed listening to the interview with Karen. A friendly spirit and well spoken as to her writing.
It isn’t clear to me what spurred a memory in me when listening …
The Post Card Koda memory of my vast collection of postcards of artists and writers from openings and exhibits
started when I finally found artists that appealed to my taste in art, but not my pocket book..
My father would say “Champagne on a beer budget” … I could afford the post cards but not even
a print often. Most of their art / and or writing is off the beaten path such as
Robert Shetterly’s Americans Who Tell the Truth series of paintings… the cards would make wonderful
fodder for PoPo … but am sure I put them “some place safe” which means “the black hole” of my
storage.
That was a good result for me, besides enjoying the interview, remembering Bob, and putting him
next on my … what did someone call it … “stalking” list. Peace and Love, Siggi
