More On Poets And Postcards

Originally Published: August 19, 2011

A few weeks back, we reported on Charlie Simic's stance on the lost art of postcard writing. This sentiment isn't lost on the folks over at The Academy of American Poets who offer an archive of postcards called "Poets Via Post" that "provides a glimpse into the Academy of American Poets mailbag at 75 Maiden Lane. Browse postcards and ephemera sent from Sherman Alexie, Henri Cole, Brenda Hillman, Naomi Shihab Nye, Sharon Olds & more."

Go and enjoy it. It's right here!
