50 Days til Postcards

May 13, 2015

by Ryukan

I am starting to get emails about the August Poetry Postcard Fest. Questions like:

All 2014 Postcards received by Your Humble Postcard Narrator

1) Is the fest on this year? (Yes).
2) Can you sign me up now? (No).
3) What are the main changes this year? (This year we’re charging for the first time. It’s a $10 dollar fee (+ small service charge) to allow us to answer correspondence quickly, focus attention on making the fest the best experience for everyone and weed out the people who sign up and then drop out. I want to be a resource for you especially if you are trying to make the shift from relentless editing to learning how to develop trust for your instincts. Also, the fest groups will be again broken into 32 participants per group and once there are 32 in a group, they’ll be free to start, so no waiting for the last people to sign up to get your addresses.) We can handle up to 1,000 participants & perhaps more.

https://paulenelson.com/august-poetry-postcard-fest/ for the details and thanks for considering being a part of the 9th year of the August Poetry Postcard Fest.

Postcarding & Daysinging (A Workshop)

May 4, 2026

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.
