I got so much work done! Focused alone time, supportive community, and contact with Italian art/culture were set in perfect balance. I was more generative than I have ever been anywhere.
As a Whitman Award/AAP First Book Award Fellow, my stay at Civitella was exactly what it was intended to be– a substantial start into my second book.
This is a perfect partnership with the Academy of American Poets. A true gift, and I am deeply grateful for it.
