rogue-poet

Good day to you, fellow postcrosser!
Already as a kid I loved to receive mail from all over the world. That was when everything was real and slow yet, pen and paper. It is so good to stick to that ancient tradition!
I live with an adorable companion, chickens and cats on a garlic plantation. As a former agricultural engineer, I work now as a crytogeographer and writer. German speaking bookworms can find more information about my work and novel on my homepage.

What you write on the card is as important to me than the card itself. I fancy ultra-short-stories, such as strange events in local history of your place or just a bizarre headline in your newspaper today. I'm especially interested in poetry, literature, myth and legend of your country, as well as rural life, agriculture, fishery, traditional crafts and trades, cartography, metallurgy, forestry, trains, ships etc. I'd also love to see local chicken or cattle breeds of your region.
Any card is great, as long as it has to do with your place or yourself.

I don't care whether stories are "real" or not,
I just want them to be odd!

Looking forward to your postcards, I trust your imagination. Thank you so much for your time.

PS. I do not wish to engage in penpalships. Thanks for your understanding!
