Robinson Jeffers
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.
Thanks, Paul — ‘Underneath, that is what (and maybe where) soul is!’ Wouldn’t it be great to stand at the top of Jeffers’ tower, and look west all day, beneath the surfaces of sky and sea? Mackey’s right: we’d see ‘what face is only front for.’ Might scare us to death, but we’d see!
Jeffers looks hewn from the same stone as his tower, doesn’t he?
Kevin Miller read from his new book last night at the Bistro, sharing the bill with Peter Ludwin and HIS new book — both stunningly good.
