About Postcard

Postcard is a literary magazine that features 12 poems by 12 poets with original art inspired by each poem printed on a postcard.

The designer and editor of Postcard has always loved broadsides, the way they combine art and text and act as a collaboration, and saw this as a way to create mini-, pseudo-broadsides; art on one side, poem on the other. Kind of like a reverse ekphrastic. The idea that these postcards will be used as postcards is also exciting; there’s something special and beautiful about a poem arriving in your mailbox, about these words and images traveling through the mail.

I hope the mail carriers can stop and give them a read…

Issues will have a limited number of subscriptions available.

Postcard loves the surreal, the weird, the strange, the future, the funny, and the heartbreaking. Postcard welcomes submissions from writers both new and established.

How It Works

Beginning with issue 4, issues will be sent one poem at a time, one each month, over the course of a year. This means that Issue 4 will be delivered throughout 2027 with the first poem being mailed out in early January.

If you subscribe after the year has begun, you will receive the postcards/poems that have already been released and then your subscription will continue throughout the rest of the year on schedule.
