The dates have been released: October 7-10, 2010 in Newark NJ.

This is pretty exciting, because until 6 months ago, it looked like they would have to cancel this every-other-year paean to poetry because of financial problems.

I've been to Dodge twice, and both times, it has been a transformative experience. Just to spend several days immersed in the world of words, around others who love words as much as you do--well it's a total joy.

I'll be there this year.

I hope to see some of you there as well.

How about it? A Wild meet up at Dodge??

You buyin' the airplane tickets?

Seriously, steve and I would love to be there, dearest. I don't know. October is quite a ways off, so maybe we'll have time to save up our pennies. Or maybe you'll get the kinks worked out on that transporter device, eh?

Much Love,
M

oh oh oh me me! I Am thrilled to hear this, I thought it was going to be cancelled! It's not too far for me to drive but I was so sad to have to book out each night and would love to do a hotel meetup thing too with wilders. I will definitely start saving up for this trip right away. Anyone who hasn't done one of these should seriously think about it. It is like standing near a giant crystal to be in a tent with that many artists and poets.
