Participants are enthusiastic about their Getaway
experiences. Here is a sample of recent feedback.
"This conference is a gift. It permits a writer to take risks
without concern for impressing or competing. It gave me the
space to imagine and experiment. This is a community that is
generous and encouraging while also being honest. A great
relief."
~ Amy, Blue Bell, PA
"I have been to 11 Getaways and 17 of the poems I drafted
there have been published! If you ever get discouraged and
wonder why you are looking up obscure quotations or packing up
boxes of postcards, I can tell you that your goofy
prompts/ variations/ challenges for the delusional really work.
17 poems I would not have written if not for you, Peter.
Thank you for helping me become a poet."
~ Pat, Elkton, MD
"I came from out of the country, and was made to feel at home
immediately. Thank You!"
~ Frank, London, Ontario
"I had a better, more enriching experience in three days with
my workshop than in the book-writing group I attended for over a
year. Our workshop leader was at the top of the scale, keeping
the workshop intensive, genuine, supportive and inspiring."
~ Juliet, Glassboro, NJ
"The workshops were intense, joyous and useful, the food was
tasty and abundant, the dancing was blissful, and I’m going home
with four new poems and an equal number of new friends. I have
been to dozens of conferences in the past several years and this
is now one of my favorite events."
~ Devon, Newark, DE
"The workshop leaders are talented and compassionate, pushing
you to new levels. The atmosphere is charged with creativity and
appreciation for the work of others. I travel from Chicago to
attend and have not been disappointed."
~ Donna, Willowbrook, IL
"I love the three night time-frame. It allows for deep work
and play. The workshops were the right length, and the panels
and evening events were lovely. This was my first, but not my
last time! Thank you."
~ Laura, Montclair, NJ
"The Getaways have inspired and empowered me! I am writing!"
~ Victor, Linwood, NJ
"I had such a great time and left feeling exhausted and
rejuvenated, with my luggage full of new poems, books, and a
renewed excitement. I've heard so many great things about the
Getaway, but no praise equaled the experience."
~ Stacey, Fresno, CA
