Favorite Poem Project Summer Poetry Institute for Educators 2011

IMPORTANT NOTE: the readings and seminars by the stellar poets in the project are open to the public (Robert Pinsky,Louise Glück, Heather McHugh, Carl Phillips and Maggie Dietz) -- but not the discussions, lesson developments, all the stuff the teacher-participants do, so if you're not involved formally, you can still drop by for these amazing readings!
