Writing prompts, photo recaps, and related readings will be shared on our Instagram. We invite you to join us by writing your own “Poetry & Shelter” postcards and sending them out to your family, friends, and community. Share them with us on Instagram (@kundimanforever), or email them to info@kundiman.org.

Kundiman’s Postcard Poem Exchange is part of the Poetry Coalition’s annual programming centered around a theme of social importance. The Poetry Coalition is a national alliance of more than 30 nonprofit organizations dedicated to promoting the value of poets in our daily lives and communities, and Kundiman is proud to be a founding member. Here is an archive and programming recap of the postcards sent last year.
