why are the green mountains green?

I'm posting events throughout Vermont of interest to those interestred in poetry. As much as I can. As much as I can, writing about my own process and perceptions, as it is...

so much for this ...

...for the summer that has sped by like a tramp on a mission
...for the resolutions to make better nad be better
... this writing thing
...for what I thought I wanted

It's been a month and a half and so many, many things (poetically and otherwise, have steamrolled ahead without me.

The appointment of Charles Simic as our new US Poet Laureate, the big and small things in and around the state. Literary contest deadlines, the annual Write Action picnic and announcements of the Brattleboro Literary Festival and Burlington Book Festival participatants.

Mostly, and just recently, I was moved by this notice in the New York Times or the death of poet Liam Rector, who taught at Bennington College until recently, and the excerpt of the poem the included in his notice. Click here.

so please continue to send me your notices and surprises in my inbox. I am recovering from my move and will post them more timely now. Thanks.
