for 1500 (economy room, bath shared with one other room) or about 1950 (ocean view room with private bath), you'll have five days including:

1) airport or harbor pick-up on a Saturday, return on a Thursday
2) five nights lodging and continental breakfast
3) three one-and-a-half hour college-level seminars with poet Heather McHugh
4) informed help with reservations and transportation for Victoria excursions, arts and eateries
5) final evening's cocktails and appetizers overlooking the ocean.

Those wishing private conferences on selections of their own work may schedule extra sessions (pro rata, $85/page, min. 3 pages).

From your Saturday arrival to your Thursday departure, we will smooth your way and provide an array of services-- concierge, chef, chauffeur, host and poetry coach.  (Travel and meals not included except as specified above; you'll make your own travel arrangements to and from Victoria BC.)

You'll have a friendly guide and concierge in Victoria-- one who shares your passion for the arts and nature--and we're betting you'll come away with a taste for island life-- and an enriched appreciation for poetry.
