Poetry Postcard Fest

Do you love to write? Want to expand your horizons? Join the Poetry Postcard Fest! Organized by the Cascadia Poetics Lab, the Poetry Postcard Fest is an annual event where writers dedicate 56 days to composing original 31 poems and sending them to other participants. The Fest was initiated in 2007 by poets Paul Nelson and Lana Ayers, and has grown to include poets participating worldwide.

At the same time, the sender will also receive a postcard with a poem from a fellow participant. It’s a great way to jump-start your creative spirit and enhance your writing career. The fest is open…
