Away for the Weekend

I will be away this weekend, attending the West Chester University Poetry Conference.  Hopefully, I will be able to brush up on my prosody a bit and thus improve the Limericks.

If you are in the Philadelphia area and would benefit from some instruction in the area of formal poetry, you should stop in.  Or keep the conference in mind for next year.  It is an annual event and I think unique (as poetry conferences go in the United States) in its (non-exclusive) focus on rhymed, metrical poetry.

Full disclosure: one reason I am partial to this conference is that my wife is on the faculty, as are several of my favorite poets (and I like their poetry too).
