Poetry Postcard Fest Interviews

November 21, 2020

by Ryukan

Now that our post-Poetry Postcard Fest workshop is over and has received some rave reviews (see THIS and also THIS) we’re ready now for another round of interviews with Poetry Postcard Fest participants for posting on Youtube and on this site. If you were not interviewed about your Poetry Postcard Fest process in the past (or if your interview was marred by a bad Zoom connection) and would like to talk about your Poetry Postcard Fest experience and read one of your own postcard poems, please reply in the comments as to what slot you would like. First come, first served and if you have not commented before, your comment will need to be approved by an administrator before it is posted so be patient.

Monday, November 30, 1pm: Jane Swanson
Wednesday, December 2, 9am: Philip Riley

Thanks. I look forward to talking with you.

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.
