The ASLE (Association for the Study of Literature and Environment) Conference always includes excellent poetry panels and readings. The conference is held at rotating locations every two years. I have attended three times. https://www.asle.org/

Lit Youngstown's Fall Festival involves days full of panels, readings, and mini-lessons and evenings full of camaraderie. Good books sales. Very reasonable conference fee and housing. Two years ago, two other Wompos that I didn't know showed up there with new books. We had quite a round of meet-ups.

Of course I'm biased because I serve on the executive board that organizes the conference, but Poetry by the Sea, founded by the late Kim Bridgford, is wonderful. I'd describe the conference as formalist-friendly, but all are welcome, no exceptions.

But don't just take my word for it. Here's what Adam Vines, editor of The Birmingham Review had to say: "This was my first time attending the conference, and I felt so welcomed. The panels were outstanding--better than I have attended at the dozens of conferences and festivals I have attended over the years. The folks were so bright and informed and generous. I loved it, truly."

More details:

Poetry by the Sea Conference welcome poets of all backgrounds. The Conference takes place at Mercy by the Sea Retreat and Conference Center, a contemplative setting on a private beach in Madison, Connecticut. The four-day Conference features workshops, panel discussions, readings, a Keynote address, a Guest Lecture, and Spotlight Readers. Participants can commute or stay on site, in single or double rooms, with meals. Go to poetrybytheseaconference.org for information and registration or email poetryb...@yahoo.com. This year's conference runs from May 21-24.

This year's Keynote speaker is Gregory Pardlo. Guest Lecturer: David Yezzi. Spotlight Readers: January Gill O'Neil and Teri Ellen Cross Davis. Jon Tribble Editors Fellow: Dustin Brookshire.

Hello, everyone! It's Christina, and it's not the Gazette. Instead, I've got a question. Now that this year's AWP is over, I started wondering about other conferences and festivals you attend that you find support poetry. Or do you not go to these large gatherings at all? I invite your thoughts!
