Red Flag Poetry

Stamped, signed, and sent.

Red Flag Poetry was founded Indiana, PA, just before the hills become mountains. We are a poetry postcard journal 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.
Red Flag Poetry is proudly supported by the English Department at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Click here to check out their awesome program!
