I’m off to Boyds Mills, PA for a writing retreat with Rebecca Kai Dotlich, Georgia Heard, Irene Latham, Charles Waters, and so many more wonderful children’s poets. Whether you attend zoom workshops, in-person conferences, or extended stays with other poets, you gain a refreshed sense of wonder, a return to simple joys, and a reminder to pay attention. Listening, learning, giving words their weight…leads to fond friendships and inspiration for your creative self. So lucky to be heading back this year! Hope I’ll see you there!
