Poetry Postcards
Lets do it again! April 30th
You Bring the Voice, We'll Provide the Postage
Please join us April 30th from 1 PM - 4 PM at Beyond Baroque.
This is a free event, donations gratefully accepted and refreshments will be available.
The Living Poetry Project
On April 30th people will gathering again to create, write, share, and send postcards voicing their political concerns. Some will make handmade cards, but others will appreciate having ready made cards for them to write their local representatives.
The Living Poetry Project would love to have your poems featured on these cards. Your words will be the front facing art.
Be mindful that the blank side of these cards will be used for people to write their local and national representatives about a wide range of concerns. If you want your card to ONLY BE USED for specific concerns, you will need to say so in your submission.
This project will be a collaboration in broadest sense. If you are feeling brave, this is the project for you.
Unfortunately due to budget constraints, (sorry, I'm a single mom and a school teacher so my pockets are a bit, eh, shallow.) not all submission will be able to be used, but I will do my best to include as many poems as possible. Most likely I will pick a card that best represents the following concerns:
Black Lives Matter
Climate Control
Dakota Access Pipeline
Education K-12
Education (Higher)
Immigrant Rights
Labor Rights
LGBT Rights
Refugee Rights
Rent Control
Women's Rights
Veterans Rights / Care
AND we are open to other topics we may have missed in this limited list.

Postcards and art supplies will be provided for the community to help them voice their concerns about the current political climate. A list of local and national representatives will be provided. This is a great time and space for people to gather information and learn where and how they’d like to address their voice.

After the poetry postcards are created there will be an open mic for people to share their words.
Finally
Postage will be provided for the cards so everyone is able to mail their work to the appropriate representative.
