#postcardsfromtheroad is a poetry book &... It’s a series of literal postcards from the road from the literal intersection of a life, a conversation between a 53-year-old grown-ass woman and her 7-year-old wild-child self, rendered in poetry (mostly haiku) & snapshots. Which pairs as well as wine & cheese, as a both are snapshots of a moment in time. #postcardsfromtheroad strings together this collection of moments, like souvenirs from a journey, into a narrative of how we got from there to here, told to a little girl from her older self, sealed with a kiss. Though she be a small collection of very small poems, #postcardsfromtheroad is also an intersection of all the things we're not supposed to talk about, including politics, religion, cancer, and grief. Readers of author/cancer activist Joules Evans’s "Shaken Not Stirred… A Chemo Cocktail (A comedy about my tragedy)" will recognize her familiar voice and playful style, full of wit, wordplay, & wild-eyed wonder, with a healthy dash of irreverence thrown into the mix, and shaken not stirred, of course. It’s a marriage of her poetry, prose, & photographs. Less
