She lives inHarmony, Maine.Dawn Potter on Poetry and TeachingIn her 1958 novel The Bell, Iris Murdoch wrote:"Work, as it now is, . . . can rarely offer satisfaction to the half contemplative. Afew professions, such as teaching and nursing, remain such that they can bereadily invested with a spiritual significance. But although it is possible, andindeed demanded of us, that all and any occupation be given a sacramentalmeaning, this is now, for the majority of people, almost intolerably difficult."Murdoch published those words more than a half century ago; today’ssituation feels even more dire. While I can’t speak for nursing, the teachingprofession is, for most people, no longer a haven of “spiritual significance.” Thehuman spirit, the divine spirit, the spirit of intellect and art, however one wantsto latch onto that metaphor: none of those concepts has much to do with thedaily interactions of teachers, students, colleagues, administrators, parents, letalone any pursuit of knowledge and self discovery.But every summer at The Frost Place Conference on Poetry and Teaching, Iwatch the spirit arise from the ashes. Though I direct the conference, thisrebirth doesn't have much to do with me personally. I am not the participants’instructor. In many ways, I am more like the housekeeper or perhaps thegardener, and I use those words in their richest, least pejorative sense. It’s mymetaphorical job to make sure the windows are washed and the plants arewatered, to hang the sheets outside on a sunny windy clothesline, to turn oversoil dense with compost and earthworms. Then I step aside and watch whathappens.What happens is that people are happy, in a way they rarely have access to in
their daily lives. They wear their hearts on their sleeves: which is to say they talkto one another with vulnerability and delight. They ask questions of poetry, ofthemselves, of each other; they become excited, enchanted, deliriouslyoverwhelmed by thought. The conference is a five day utopia, in its own way.And the participants are, and have been, and will always be among the greatblessings of my life.Statement of My Creative Interestsby Dawn PotterDeath, by which I mean the sudden deathof snuff bottles and weeping willow trees,,undiagnosed roads littered with sorrows,and postal clerks languishing along the canals.And Sex, of course. That goes without saying.The insatiable queen; the pale and ruminatingheifer; the snails, incompatible on a blue plate.(You see how the links begin to accrue.)To a certain degree Love,but with a teaspoon of Despair—star crossed bats, an aging incognito ragdoll,three Polacks stumbling into a bar.Not Hate so much as Grudging Defeat,as when day breaks on timeor the sparrow scorns her basin of chickweedwhile the furnace belches rank and artless air.Although Wonder, without a doubt.Those curious prosthetics, those animaliawith their clever hums and coos,those quivering visions of Albion.And Yearning, always Yearning:the one eyed child leaning out of the highchair,the lord protector pacing his damp yew walk
as the Calydonian hunter straggles after the boar.Spend your summer at The Frost Placestudying and writing poetry.Come and be inspired.The Frost Place Conference on Poetry and Teaching June 21 25, 2015The Frost Place Conference on Poetry July 12 18, 2015The Frost Place Poetry Seminar August 2 8, 2015

Shelley’s Defense of Poetry and Keats’s Letters are canon-ical works that set a difference between the two poets and their poetry. Despite the fact that Shelley wrote his Defense of Poetry by reading the article entitled “The Four Ages of Poetry,” Shelley remarkably voiced his postulations about the role and function of poets and poetry.
