This year for the annual August Postcard Poetry Festival I decided to do assembled text pieces. To learn more about the festival check out Paul Nelson's Link: https://www.paulenelson.com/august-poetry-postcard-fest/ For the postcards I used vintage file dividers I found secondhand and an image from an anatomy textbook. On some of the cards I put a layer of watercolor, ink, pencil, or coffee (as above). The book I deconstructed was a young adult science fiction novel, "Insurgent." My motivation for using this book was that it was 75 cents and that I liked the feel of the paper.

I'm one of the lucky recipients of Pate's postcards during the August Postcard Poetry Festival. I can attest to how singularly beautiful it is, both visually and poetically. Thank you, Pate!
