Description
Postcards - the now almost completely obsolete and forgotten form of sending a short message of the sender's holiday or travel experiences to family and friends. Often posted on the final day of the holiday, or from places which guaranteed their arrival long after the sender had returned home.
Postcard collections may bring back memories of long forgotten times, people and places, often strangely distanced by the fading images, the short, handwritten messages, and the very medium itself, now seeming so old fashioned and crude in the digital age of instant communication.
But memories can also be postcards from the past, especially when captured in poems which record the intensity of that moment, or series of moments they record. Images attach to the words which are stronger and sharper than postcards or digitised messages. Hence Postcard Poems. Postcards bringing alive the past in the present. Postcards which become the experience they describe.
