I'm interested to see the reactions of others who have been to an AWP conference. To attend one of these conferences, you have to want to have a "career" in publishing poetry or literature. But it always comes back to the work you do alone, the writing. Thanks Carolee. I’m interested to see the reactions of others who have been to an AWP conference.

you ended this piece perfectly– with a reminder that the writing must happen. the work must be done.
