Christine Swint created this poetry postcard. She adds this background:
The lines from this poem come from a dream I had in February. The photo is of a marginalized neighborhood in downtown Atlanta.

I love the way the photo slants. It’s also great that your poem begins with “PS.” That “thin metal beam” is perfect.

The line ‘we live on a thin metal beam, waiting for a purge’ is superb. A terrifying, beautiful piece, love it Christine (you have a real gift for these, how you link the visual with your own vivid word pictures).

ps and the typewritten typeface looks crazy good, too.
