This is a poetry postcard that was originally published at Postal Poetry, which is now defunct. It was featured on February 25, 2009.
Update 10.20.10: Thanks to Dave Bonta, the Postal Poetry archive is back up at a new url and it looks better than ever. Here’s the link to “Time to Leave” along with the brief statement I wrote to accompany it. Go have a look around over there. There is truly amazing work to be found.
James Brush is a teacher and writer who lives in Austin, TX. He tries to get outside as much as possible.
I just found out yesterday that PP had gone down. Needless to say it was not my decision, but I’m very sorry I wasn’t more proactive in making sure it stayed up.
Thanks for your efforts to get it back up. It looks great. I’d forgotten how much wonderful work you guys got over there. It’s great to go back and look again.
