Hi! We've never met, and I hope this post doesn't qualify as spam to you. If it does, I apologize.
I'm writing to invite you to join tonystanza, an invitation-only advanced poetry workshop I'm starting specifically for in-it-for-life, published or otherwise demonstratedly dedicated poets

Thanks for this; I'm game to try anything. Can I ask where you found me? As to recommendations for fellow workshoppers, there are a few I could make, but it also risks this community becoming a repeat of some others I'm in.... I'll give it a think.
PS Hampshire, huh? I went to Wesleyan, way back in the stone ages when we lived in shanty towns on the administration's lawn to encourage the University to divest from South Africa....
Great! I found you through an interest search for someone or other. I think Mark Doty. As for Wesleyan, I took a class in publishing from the director of Wesleyan University Press, who decided to teach at Hampshire for a semester to see what the school was all about. I think his name was Thomas Radko?
And the South Africa divestment: that was before my time, but the story was still fresh in everyone's mind because we were struggling to get the college to divest from Israel, right around 2002 they Sharon erected 4-foot thick cement walls around every Palestinian city, making any kind of regular commuting (not to mention the operation of emergency vehicles) nearly impossible. But we lost the fight. The board of directors, not to mention much of the student body, were torn on the matter.
