Image A longtime postcard poet, Buck Downs has been sending out monthly poems to readers since the 1990s, and his work, often unsigned, can also be found affixed to light poles and other urban surfaces, distributed via social media feeds or heard at the other end of the telephone line. His poetry often reflects the immediacy and wit demanded of its modes of distribution. In "fluid cupid," the mixed-up nature of life itself is the unforeseeable consequence of the mating of a good and bad time.
