Historic barn at the Audubon Center
Welcome
After a welcoming reception Friday evening on the grounds of the Audubon Massebesic Center, followed by the Hyla Brook Series poetry reading overlooking their rolling fields, you'll settle down to business with two days of focused workshopping with a leading poet of metrical form.
You may find yourself composing form in the gardens or gathering inspiration during your free writing time as you explore the miles of trails, wetlands, wildlife sanctuary, and Lake Massebesic.
