Everyone has a story.
Postcard Memoirs are personal snapshots in a handful of words, accompanied by an image. Why limit words? Because of attention-deficit; mine and yours. Because there’s nothing like the muscularity of poetry combined with the real-lives-lived aspect of memoir. Because less is more. Because each of these tiny gems speaks volumes.
The Project is a Lit-Log featuring the work of guest writers. Included are award-winning writers, as well as students. The project is not purely academic, nor does it rely upon name making small talk with the right person. It loves everybody. There are no strict guidelines. People send very short essays, preferably lyric or experimental in form, but anything goes. The site is updated about three times a year. Though they aim to be shared, all postcards featured are T-Log entries and no matter how they are used and disbursed; writers must be credited.
