Red Flag Poetry

Stamped, signed, and sent.

Red Flag Poetry is based in Indiana, PA, just before the hills become mountains. We are a poetry postcard project at heart that also publishes chapbooks and collections! Each month, we publish a new postcard featuring a pithy poem and great art to spice up your snail mail.

Check out some of our previously published postcards, listen to our podcasts, pick up a chapbook or full-length collection from our store, or subscribe to get these great postcards mailed to you!
