Reviews, comments and poems from seminar participants

 Stupendous!  I've not learned this much since graduate school.

This conference was life-changing.  I have taught high school and I now teach college full-time for the past seven years.  My teaching will never be the same again - in structure and theme.  The conference was well-organized.

I have taught literature and poetry for thirty years. I am a practicing poet and fiction writer and scholar.  I can say in all sincerity that I have learned new things, new strategies and approaches and I have been reminded of things I had forgotten.  Each and every session was useful.  Each and every session was unforgettable. 

Professor Hilary Holladay is an impressive teacher whose knowledge of her subject was equal to her love and respect of it.  This whole experience has been a true revelation.  The organization, efficiency and reliability of the staff has also contributed to the high quality of this experience.  This has been a model workshop. 

I cannot say enough about the strong leadership of Professor Joanne Gabbin.  She is an expert in her field; she is an expert organizer; she has phenomenal energy; she has a generous spirit; I could go on. I am a better teacher, a better poet, and hopefully a better person for this experience.
