  1. Really? $55 or $65 dollars? Why, Why does it have to cost so much? Why on Earth can you not find a free place and charge $5 and ask people to bring their own refreshments. Couldn’t you find a church, a private place, a library or city facility or a business willing to give space in order to open the venue to those of us who would love to attend but simply cannot? Is poetry just a hobby for the rich, like gardening roses? Think of all the people who could have been there if the event was even $20, pay at the door. What a disappointment this is……. Sheesh.

  2. When you consider that the Willamette Writers Conference cost $200. a day, this is quite a bargain. However, they did offer scholarships if you volunteer. Maybe OPA would do the same?

  3. I don’t quite understand how this works. Do you get lodging and food included with the registration? Because I’m coming from Oregon and I can’t be there everyday unless said… Someone please help.
