This is the announcement I think you have all been waiting for! Please contact me for more information, although details will become forthcoming as they are made available.
Poetry by the Sea: A Global Conference
Mercy by the Sea, Madison, CT

Keynote Speaker: Marilyn Hacker
Looking for a poetry conference to start your summer? Enjoy a four-day global experience on beautiful Long Island Sound, with panels, workshops, and seminars celebrating a diverse community. You might choose to join us for one day or four; you might take some time to walk in the labyrinth garden; or you might have a poetry discussion over one of our community meals or under the stars.

I did a Google search and found that the conference now has a website. It's wonderful to see this taking shape!

An announcement of the conference, with a great line-up of speakers, was just posted on the Women Poets Listserv.
Success is the best revenge.

It looks and sounds good, but I'm waiting to see the price before getting all excited about it. I sure hope it's more affordable than WCU was becoming.

By the way, I'm sorry if my previous posting seemed grumpy. The conference does sound wonderful. But based on the fairly high ratio of views to posts in this thread (nearly 90 to 1), it might not be far-fetched to imagine that many others are also in a wait-and-see mode. I hope they and I will be able to afford it!
