Dear Poets,
We'll see each other very soon in Thessaloniki! I will arrive at the hotel on Sunday afternoon and will be joining you at our welcoming dinner. I wish you all beautiful journeys! I have posted selections from The Greek Poets: Homer to the Present, as a page (see at left). I would be grateful if you might test this link to see if the document (a pdf) successfully downloads for you. If you have time, please try to read the poems before we reach Thasos.
We will meet as a group three afternoons a week, with a fourth afternoon devoted to writing and having short conferences on works in progress as needed. That is, I will be there and available to you during those hours. What I felt last year is that we needed a bit more writing time, given the study of Greek in the mornings and much-needed time in the Aegean waters and long afternoon feasts. We will always have Fridays off, as well as our weekends, of course. Please try to bring a poem or two to share at our first meeting, by way of introduction. You might wish to post these poems here, to share them in advance. If anyone would like to offer responses to the poems (even in advance!) this would be lovely.
With all good wishes,
Carolyn
