AILEEN CASSINETTO

July 2025 Postcard from Aileen Cassinetto

Aileen cleverly sends a one-sentence poem that is cleverly linked to the postcard image of the "Justice Society of America":

 

An American Sentence

 

She’s a newborn century, so I told her to make a memory.

 

This wonderful short sentence is in the form “An American Sentence,” which was created by Allen Ginsberg. It's a form that's perfect for a postcard! The form is a single sentence of 17 syllables inspired by Japanese haiku; more information about it is HERE. 

Thanks Aileen!
