Shack on the Edge of a Field

This post, on this blog, is a little shack holding a place for a still-in-construction website devoted to the writing life of Polly Brown, a poet, writer, and teacher who lives in Maine.

My page on the website of Every Other Thursday Poets no longer exists, although the group is still meeting and still a kind of paradise of encouragement and challenge for its members. But quite a lot comes up if you just google polly brown poet. 

The publisher of my most  recent book, Pebble Leaf Feather Knife, has closed down completely. Two wonderful bookstores in Farmington, Maine still carry copies, and Amazon may still have a few. Other arrangements are in the works.

A new book of poems, Stitching, will be released by Every Other Thursday Press in 2025. 

To explore my blog about the daily texture of progressive education, written to explore the richness of teaching within an extraordinary community of learners, go to ayeartothinkitover.com 

The other posts on this blog (right here) offer an odd amalgamation of experience bridging the writing and teaching parts of my life, embraced here, pretty accurately, by the name Villages. My favorite post (right now) is the one about Darwin's letters: http://pollybrownpoet.blogspot.com/2010/07/ive-just-finished-reading-selection-of.html
