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.
“If you’re 25 and full of energy, this is a great time to be alive because everything is changing.” This will stick with me! Thanks for this introduction to Stephen Thomas and a reminder that the act of poetry requires waking up and seeing.
