Don't forget Postcard is doing things a little differently for issue 4! Instead of 10 postcards at once, you'll receive 1 each month of 2027. Subscriptions are available at a pre-order discount!

one of three new poems up today in @bulbregion.bsky.social, with many thanks to @sarpsozdinler.bsky.social for including me! :)
General Repertoire

Wrong, like when you say there’s no such thing as and keep talking. Beautiful, like every possum. Egregious, like the number of times I wrote your name in seventh grade. Deflated, like a football or a philosophical account of truth. Inflated, like my opinion of the possum. Correct, also like my opinion of the possum, and probably too your opinion of me. Dead, like most languages, one hundred thousand plus. Alive, like this language, & you, for now.

Postcard is still here but it's a one-person job and that one person just got real busy and life got in the way. Over the last month I've been steadily catching up on submissions. I'm getting back to the work of putting together an incredible 4th issue. Postcard is still open for submissions!

my issue of Threepenny is here! here’s my poem “Present Tense,” I would love for you to give it a read! “I know this so loudly I don’t hear, at first, my father’s silence.”
Present Tense
by Todd Dillard

My father’s telling me about his dog,
how it fell into a well
when they were walking down a wooded path.
His dog ran across some rotted planks,
the planks splintered, “And whoosh!”
my father says. “No more dog.”
I look at the clock and remind my father it’s three A.M.
“I’m not finished,” he says.
He tells me about the rope he bought, the bucket,
how he knotted the rope to the bucket, lowered it down,
and yelled for the dog to get in.
“But all I pulled up was more barking.”
“Dad,” I say. “This never happened.”
He says he can’t remember 
how long he tried to get the dog 
to shimmy into the bucket.
Just that at some point
when the sky turned tawny—“Dad—“
as a pitcher of sweet tea—“Dad—“
he decided to give up.
“Dad,” I say. “It’s late.
I’m tired. And you’re dead.”
“Dammit, son,” my father says. “Let me finish!”
My father tells me about filling the bucket with dirt 
and pouring the dirt into the well.
And I know what he’s getting at, I know
he’s going to tell me bucket by bucket
he filled the well and 
the dog jumped out. He’s going to say
something about how the dog
led him home through the dark.
I know this so loudly I don’t
hear, at first, my father’s silence.
“Dad?” I say. “Dad, are you there?”
I keep lowering the bucket
but all I ever pull up are leaves.
Red leaves. Lately, some gold.
