I have not seen the list of topics and presenters for the symposium yet.

This is an unofficial thread on the topic, but the list of performers came directly from Geoff Kaufman, the festival's organizer. I'm a seaport member, not a staffer. Someone who works there may add to this thread or start another one, not realizing I've posted this.

So, who is coming, and for how much of the festival?
Moderators, could this thread be merged with this one? http://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=159910
The symposium schedule thread http://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=159910 should probably stand alone.

I plan to be there for the whole thing; yes, this thread should be merged with the other now, while they are short.

Looks like another great line-up.

I will be joining Bob Zentz and Margaret McCandless for the Cicely Fox Smith Workshop on Saturday, 3 pm, Figurehead Hall. And there will be copies for sale of the 2nd edition of The Complete Poetry of Cicely Fox Smith at the Museum Store Booth.

Cheerily,
Charlie Ipcar
