Happy spring! We’re gearing up for another exciting summer of postcard poetry, and have some great opportunities for connecting with postcard poets and spreading the love for postcard poetry soon!

Postcards at Walk the Block

On May 24, 2025 from 11 AM – 6 PM PST, Cascadia Poetics Lab will have our own postcard table at Walk the Block at the Mapes Creek Walkway, 55th & Henderson, across the street from the new Rainier Beach high School. Walk the Block is hosted by the Rainier Beach Action Coalition. We’ll be at the Art Walk, on the Mapes Creek Walkway, the first of a regular series supporting local artists. The event will have food, live entertainment and activities from small businesses and organizations throughout Seattle. The Cascadia Poetics Lab table will have postcard collage material and information on the 2025 Poetry Postcard Fest to share with the Rainier Beach community.

We need volunteers to help us with this event! Volunteers will be working with Paul Nelson and PPF committee members in maintaining organization of the table, assisting participants with making postcard collages, and talking about the Poetry Postcard Fest with community members. If you’re interested in volunteering, even if for just a portion of time, please email veronica@cascadiapoeticslab.org or CONTACT US HERE. If you can’t volunteer, we’d still love to see you there!
