Virtual Postcards

We're keen on postcards and multiple methods of communication at Woman-Stirred. We have to be to maintain our friendships and collaboration across distances. And yet email is still the most reliable and regular means of contact. I looked back over our daily emails from last summer, drawing on rich words and phrases to imagine a new dialogue between women.

The result was Postcard Stream, a visual, voice, and textual poem. The textual elements grew as a collage out of our email conversations. Are there two women or more? Might they be lovers or friends, or both and more? How does geography overlay and inspire emotion? You decide.

I'm thrilled that Postcard Stream is included in the latest issue of Womb Poetry. This issue, a summer/autumnal equinox offering, went live yesterday. Please check out all the contributors, and to view the Woman-Stirred Postcard Stream click on my name: "Nicki Hastie".


This is just one example of the way Woman-Stirred expands my imagination. It's true those original emails covered some amazing subjects. If you're wondering what those conversations really were, you'll just have to use your imagination.
