Your post reminds me of how naive I still am in the world of blogging as well as the world of poetry. I had not heard the Mark Strand poem before, so thank you for introducing me to it. I, too, am eager for the day when we can share a Poetry Friday retreat together!Michelle Heidenrich Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02051827857519159837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-29043962197768668622013-11-29T21:40:54.033-07:002013-11-29T21:40:54.033-07:00It was quite a time last weekend, Violet, enjoyed ...It was quite a time last weekend, Violet, enjoyed every minute!

I, too, loved the sessions you mentioned and visiting with so many poetry and writing and teacher friends both new and "old". NCTE lights lamps, just like Mary Lee said! I think all teachers should get to this conference if not yearly, then regularly. Happy 600th post!
