Picture Postcard Press is an imprint of Briery Creek Press.
On the regular, we take prose and poetry, commission an artist to create a complementary piece, and then blend the two on the front of a 5-1/2” by 8-1/2” card. Yes, it’s a postcard. Yes, it’s literature. Yes, it’s fine art. So mail it, read it, or hang it up.
We blog about the stuff we love. Please check here to read features about art and writing that moves us. We’re interested in how art and writing speak to each other, how they fuel one another, how they inspire our very own work. Think of it as the stimulating, passionate conversation you’ve been looking for.
We feature a contest three times a year, searching for writing that best compliments a work of art we post. Use this art as a prompt for new work; don’t feel obliged to be literal. If the art evokes a response, send us your best work.
