I have now sent postcards to the following poets:

1. Ed Mycue
2. Harvey Hix
3. Michael Waters
4. Laura Jensen
5. Ed Mycue
6. Reginald Shepard
7. David Graham
8. Amy Hauber
9. Robert Dana
10. Jonathan Mayhew (4.17.2008)
11. Peter Money

My immediate goal is 100 cards, though I expect there to be many repeats — this first batch is just to introduce the lucky recipients to what I’m doing. You can see the cards — both sides — by clicking the words Postcard Project in the extreme upper right of the Sharp Sand header.

Later: Cards are going out today to Jonathan Mayhew & Peter Money, neither of whom I know except through correspondence. My acquaintance with Peter predates the internet & I’m sorry that we have dropped out of contact. Ironically, when we were corresponding regularly, Peter lived on the West Coast; when he moved to Vermont — one state over — we somehow lost contact.

A stray thought occurred to me while writing Jonathan’s card this morning — there is never going to be enough room on a single card to complete a thought. Which is good. My usual problem is the infinity of the page, whether paper of electronic. The postcard will always be too small. Will always require a follow-up.
