Report from West Chester:
Lots of interesting conversations, great workshops, great faith and interest in the art of poetry. WCPC is now the largest poetry conference in the US.
Everyone is friendly, cheerful and chatty.
Last night there was a panel on Mchael Donoghy, telling a few stories and reading his poems. Then they played a recording of him reading for the Hudson Review, and it was good to hear him read.
Later, there was a gathering reception at an art gallery, lots of people there, many more than when I was here last.
I am taking lots of photos and will link them here when I get back so those who couldn't make it can see what some of the people look like.
Later, I don't have my glasses at this computer.
