In the meantime, though, I’ve sought to recycle the enjoyment of a similar challenge by asking TCE’s contributors to share some of their own poems that use the imagistic or contextual language of the “postcard” — in other words, Postcardese — with you, our esteemed readers. As an added special feature, many of the Postcardese issue’s contributors agreed to give mini-interviews. (Hmmm, now, wouldn’t those be fun to receive in the mail on postcards? But that’s an idea for another project . . .)
