Poetry conference!

yes, i took work off for poetry

Yesterday and today, i've been/will be at the poetry conference. It's pretty awesome. A lot of people reading and talking about poetry. This year it happens to focus on the confessional poets, so that's rather itneresting. Plath, Sexton and Snodgrass.

Rawr.

I'll be on late tonight and tomororw writing all about it.

I'm thrilled for you!

Yesterday I spoke with a writer friend who recently made the time to go to a conference in NYC, and it infused her with inspiration and know-how.

Looking forward to hearing about your experience.

we all know how you love Sylvia! I wonder if they'll cover her black humor - that's the real strength in Sylvia Plath as far as I'm concerned.

I'm glad I'm not there, cuz if someone said "Snodgrass" i'd probably giggle excessively.

but for serious, sounds cool. wish i could take off skool to do that, furreals.

You lucky, lucky bastard.

Some fine Snodgrass on a Plath followed by wild Sexton... say hi to all the Sylvia fans for me, you'll know them by their lack of tan and smile.

Actually, if anything this conference was very very into the whole 'Syliva as a black-comic'. At least 10minutes on "The Bell Jar"'s hysterical moments. (the many of them)
