Postcardia-cum-Poetica #39

Randomly pulled a postcard from my collection and it was Kane Alexander’s Transitory (via Avant Card), paired again with Elyora fragments.

The call and response focus has shifted to horses! As it does. 

This is Mike’s friend. I had a lot of fun playing with th words. The three small sections I randomly pulled were perfectly theatric. Image is from GOMA promotional material for its 10th birthday, with words from Elyora.

This one is a bit of an odd fish! I started off with an image of boats on a harbour in a sublime violet-hued dusk, and ended up in this hotel room. 

There is something about the image that gave me a sense of immense spaci dislocation. The card appear far bigger than I actually was. And I expected at any moment for a Lynchian character to wander through the frame. Or for me to be sucked into it.

Nothing like a little adventure to keep one on their toes. And the subversive shit-stirrer in me wished this particular one didn’t have to go in an envelope!

There was bird then going on for a bit and this wasn’t final stretch at playing along at home with ‘bird’s eye view’.

An Avant Card with Sheldon Petite’s photography, words are from Elyora.

Recycled from my 2015 calendar, the image is paired with words from my Calvino bag of fragments. 

Postcardia-cum-Poetica #34

Made for my darkly beautiful Owl-Sista, it takes from the Elyora baggie and a picture cut from an old WQ magazine. It continues with the dark gothic feel that infused most of May’s poetry.

Last post, I promised something a little more light-hearted! It was only after the poem was stuck down that I noticed the thought bubbles.

Another repurposed Avant Card which continues on a run of bird themed cards between Kim and I have been sending. 

Apologies to the artist whose details I forgot to take down before the card went into the post.
