I'm so pleased to announce the release of The Conversation: Learning to Be a Poet, a teaching and writing manual based on the work we do at the Frost Place Conference on Poetry and Teaching. [Contributors, I'll be mailing your copies as soon I can acquire envelopes.]

THE CONVERSATION: LEARNING TO BE A POET

Dawn Potter

Poet and master teacher Dawn Potter shares a dozen craft essays on poems by luminaries such as William Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, and Robert Hayden. Her detailed yet accessible discussions offer readers, writers, and teachers new approaches for engaging adventurously with both canonical and contemporary poetry.

Dawn Potter directs the Frost Place Conference on Poetry and Teaching, held each summer at Robert Frost's home on Franconia, New Hampshire. She is the author of seven books of prose and poetry.
