A Poetry Postcard Fest Reflection from Sally

August 30, 2024
by Veronica Martinez

From PPF Committee member Sally Hedges-Blanquez:

It’s not September, but it feels like Fall. The cooler air, the shorter days. My cards have been sent, but each day I find myself rereading cards I’ve received as well as looking forward to the mail. This year I’ve also made it part of my practice to send a card most days to someone not currently part of the fest. I figure I can’t go wrong by sending some thoughts into the world.

We hope everyone is having a wonderful PPF 2024! If you have something from PPF 2024 that you’d like to share, send them to your list captain or post them on the Facebook page so we can share your incredible work with all the PPF participants! Registration for PPF 2025 opens SEPTEMBER 1! Mark your calendars!

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.
