Sorry if that was pedantic. I'm irritated by various controversies that took place on Saturday, along with even more awfulness in the world.

Sam,

We haven't met, though I've read some of your work and know of you by reputation. I couldn't be more pleased to hear this news. Though I haven't been on Eratosphere for nearly 3 years, I just had to come back to congratulate you and thank you for taking on such an enormous and sensitive task. I'll look forward to the info you post on the Conference web site, and to meeting you at West Chester in 2016.

Ted Charnley

Thanks, Ted.

To all: Can we keep this thread, for the time being, free for posting news about the conference? As soon as the website is up, I'm move the posting over there. You can contact me at rsgwynn1@cs.com or by phone, and I am setting up a West Chester University Poetry Conference Program Director page on FB.

This is the new FB page, still under construction.

Does anyone have photos from past conferences that could be used there? If so, email them to me at rsgwynn1@cs.com.

George Green and Quincy Lehr have agreed to serve as two of our four Resident Poets. They will offer individual meetings with attendees of the conference and will serve on a yet-to-be-titled panel, where they will give readings of their work along with the two other RPs. I hope to have the other two in place in a few days.

Rebecca Foust has agreed to be our third Resident Poet.
