The poem was written by a man named Hakurin who died in 1817 at age 68. Well, then, let’s follow the peal of bells to the yonder shore. I’d say Hakurin was taking his impending demise well enough.

A still, small place
Growing up in Gambier, I was anything but awed by — and only abstractly aware of — the august auspices of the Review, the offices they afforded writers I would grow to admire. (More on this, anon.)

Day of Poetry

She writes that the day lasts from about 10 - 4. At the start, there’s plenty of gabbing and then they receive down to business, which involves spending 20 minutes creating in response to a prompt. After the 20 minutes, each person reads what they have. No critiques happen. The other writers offer appreciative ahhs and hmmms so as
