Marie, I'm sure there are many of us who credit the Frost Place for giving us just what we needed and at the right time. David--I didn't know you'd first gone as a participant since, when I first met you there, you were one of the guest poets.<BR/><BR/>One suggestion I meant to make to anyone who goes to Frost or elsewhere: don't take your spouse or your kids. Go for a full immersion in poetry. Be selfish about it. Let it be your week. No distractions, no obligations to entertain or tend to other people's needs. As Georgia Heard said in another context, "Marinate yourself in poetry."Diane Lockwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07614479152159652577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829168697372726752.post-57053788594388779502008-06-20T10:24:00.000-04:002008-06-20T10:24:00.000-04:00The Frost Place is, bar none, the best writerly ga...The Frost Place is, bar none, the best writerly gathering I've ever been associated with. I first attended as a student ("participant") in 1980, and I've been back in various roles a number of times since.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the lovely summary, Diane.David Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06448278560900184834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829168697372726752.post-33455614173360399712008-06-19T22:48:00.000-04:002008-06-19T22:48:00.000-04:00I have a friend who also credits the Frost Place w...I have a friend who also credits the Frost Place with starting her on her poetry-way.
