Are these people really strangers?

Yes.

How do I get one of these poetry postcards sent to me?

You need to do two things:

1. Be a stranger.

2. Email your name and mailing address to Cooper.Wilhelm@gmail.com

Once these things have been done, you will be sent a poem at some point in the future probably.

If I email my name and mailing address to Cooper.Wilhelm@gmail.com, will you share this information with third parties?

Nope. Well, the US Postal Service. But apart from them, no.

Whose fault is this? Who do I need to not know to be a stranger for the purposes of this site?

For the purposes of this site, if you can, don’t know this guy.

MFA or NYC?

Stop.
