56 Days of August

A beautiful color anthology from the tenth year of the Poetry Postcard Fest, founded by the Cascadia Poetics Lab: an exercise in spontaneous composition, multi-media and community building.

"Postcards are electric. I get excited just turning a rack of postcards around at the drugstore. The challenge of the post card was to get all your news on the back where the space for composition was small. You had to condense. you had to take all the excitement of a moment of vision and squeeze it on the back of the card. The poems in this collection are just that: condensation of amazed observation." - John Olson
