Here’s exciting news: There will be a Frost Farm Poetry Conference in 2021! It’ll take place in August, a little later in the summer than usual. I’ll be teaching a workshop called “Common Meter and The Ballad. Other instructors include Deborah Warren, Dan Brown, Caitlin Doyle, and Midge Goldberg. If you’ve never attended this annual gathering in Derry, NH, you owe yourself the experience. If you have joined us before, I don’t need to tell you that it’s something you don’t want to miss.

Come to The Frost Farm Poetry Conference, June 14-16, 2019. There’s no better place for poets —and aspiring poets—to gather. The setting is one of a kind and the faculty includes some of my favorite poets. I’ll be teaching metaphor this year, which is like teaching magic.
