Poetry Postcard Fest co-founder Paul Nelson interviews Linda Crosfield on her experience with the august POetry POstcard festival.
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.
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.
I enjoyed listening to Linda and Paul chat like the old friends they are.
A nice feel to the interview and hearing about Linda’s adventures with
becoming comfortable with sending the poems out to people she
doesn’t know.
Thank you .. Peace and love, Siggi
