Average temperature while in Bennington was about 20 degrees.

Early morning writing sessions with Kasey helped me write 25,000 words during residency.

The winter nights were often clear and bright.

Continued the tradition of hosting a reading with everyone from my cohort.

Views from my dorm room window.

A pretty great tombstone in the cemetery just off campus.

Art in the dorm’s common room.

And me reading my erotic poem ‘The Best Porno in the World.’
