I’m delighted to have a poem in the latest edition of Rattle #68 (June 2020) as well as an interview which touches on Poetry Postcard Fest. Tim Green did a first-rate job on the interview and the magazine is $6.95. See if you can spot any postcard regulars in there.
Poetry Postcard Fest registration is at 335 at this writing, just about 100 away from last year’s record total of 424. Registration is linked HERE.
Participation statistics for the 20th Poetry Postcard Fest with information of the PPF Open Mic 5-6:30 PDT on Tuesday, September 1, 2026.
