Study poetry at Robert Frost’s home in the beautiful White Mountains of New Hampshire.
Conferences
Come and study poetry in the beautiful White Mountains of New Hampshire. Be inspired by the landscape that inspired Robert Frost and so many other poets after him. Write, read, learn, share, and become part of a tradition and community of writers.
Conference on Poetry and Teaching
The Conference on Poetry and Teaching is a unique opportunity for teachers to work closely with both their peers and with a team of dedicated poets who have particular expertise in working with teachers at all levels: K-12, graduate and undergraduate, and nontraditional and community-based instructors. Graduate-level credits are available and a certificate of completion for continuing education hours is given at the end of the conference.
The Writing Intensive is a day-and-a-half reading and writing workshop that directly follows the Conference on Poetry and Teaching that gives teachers the opportunity to focus entirely on their own creative growth. A certificate of completion for continuing education credit hours will be given at the end of the workshop.
