"the underside of some unborn thing"

This was exactly how I felt the first time I attended the Napa Valley Writers' Conference:

And it was wonderful to have a week out of my life with no responsibility other than to read poetry and write it.
(Alison Turner)

Alison Turner is a lawyer-poet (poet-lawyer?) like me. It seems we both chose to spend our vacation time in the middle of a busy law practice to attend writing conferences. The title of this post is excerpted from her poem sequence, "The Covid Notebooks."
