Alicia Gignoux has enjoyed being part of the Poetry Postcard Fest poetry exchange.
She taught Spanish at the university level in Montana for many years
and spent time serving in Mexico with the Peace Corps.
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.
Thank you for the interview. I found the “one day” of writing poems interesting … beyond my attention span.
Paul, I also found the idea of … forget who you did it .. but the connected butcher paper so they would have to stop
and change the paper mid-thought. Wish I’d thought of that back in the day 🙂
Very much enjoying all the interviews.
Interesting, delightful, multi-faceted personalities, the August poetry participants are. And Paul is a great interviewer.
June, bless your heart! Thanks for the kind words and for being a POPO poet! Happy 2021!
Congratulations Dr. Alicia!! I’m very proud to have had you as a tutor in ESAp, and I greatly admire your enthusiasm and intelligence. I really like POPO Poetry! ☺
Paul, really loving these interviews!
Abhaya! Thanks for watching them!
