Postcard Fest Open Mic Saturday, Sept 10 9am PDT

Did your card get there? Could anyone read your handwriting? Do you want to try to match a postcard poet’s face with their handwriting and poetry? Maybe that all could happen at the Postcard Fest Open Mic.

OPEN MIC

Saturday September 10 there is an open mic for postcard fest participants to read 2-3 poems you wrote and maybe show some images of the favorite cards you received. There will be a three minute time limit. (Hoping for 75 minutes tops.) The link is: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/2064225002. The event will start at 9am PDT (12N EDT).

Last time people read cards of other participating poets, but do that only with advance permission. Really. Don’t be THAT GUY! We are hoping to double the number of LIKES on this year’s Postcard Fest Open Mic video. Last year:

See you in Zoomlandia!

Part of the Cascadia 2050 mission is: to inspire artists and poets of the next generation to consider bioregionalism and intuitive poetic approach as a way to foster a more just and sustainable Cascadia by 2050. To this end, one of our goals is to interview people who help us spread awareness by having practices in their lives that reflect these values. This interview with Postcard Poet Laura Gamache, a Seattle who has published poetry in the usual places, such as chapbooks, journals and anthologies, and also unusual places, such as buses, is the first of the series.
