Going to the Dodge

The Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry Festival is the Woodstock of poetry. The way I understand it, the Dodge is the one place poets can go and be mainstream, the one place we can go to be a part of an excited crowd of fellow poets. And by crowd, I mean huge tents, several events going on at once at all times, and food everywhere.

Right now, I write about the myth. I've never actually been to the Dodge before, and I'm excited to see what such a festival will really be like. Friends, mentors, and inspirations of mine will be reading, so I don't think I can possibly be let down. Stay tuned to hear more!

By the way, I've done nothing yet to advertise this blog. Is anyone reading it? If so, please leave a short comment.
