Going Poestal

[image error]

Anyone who follows this blog regularly will know I am very fond of old-fashioned, hand-written letters and when I was writing my 2017 to-do list ‘write more letters’ featured somewhere near the top. ‘Send more poetry out into the world’ was also in the running. Consequently, I’ve decided to combine the two resolutions  in a snail mail project that I hope will bring a little bit of joy to my followers.

[image error]I found this duplicate book in a drawer. It’s left over from my teaching days when I used it to give students a copy of their feedback. During 2017 I’m going to write poetry into the duplicate book, stick the top copy in my poetry journal and send the carbon copy out in the post with a little note attached.

I already have a list of penpals who will be the first to receive a poem through the post. But if you think this is something you would enjoy, you can sign up to receive a poem here.

You don’t have to live in the UK to take part, I will happily send my poetry all over the world.  I’m very much looking forward to sending out the first poems next week.
