“Attending this year really reaffirmed my belief: for me, participating in the Getaway is not solely about honing craft, but also about obtaining the literary stimulation my brain demands. The Getaway is the warmest and most ideal environment to re-establish and rework the creative connections in my brain. The readings are stirring and insightful, and the workshops are full of amazing discussion of craft mechanics. I leave feeling balanced, satiated and whole every time!”
~  Jin, Jackson, NJ

“The Getaway provided a welcoming community of incredibly talented writers, both as peers and as faculty. Peter proved a wonderful and warm host the entire weekend. I learned a great deal about my poems, my writing process and myself as a person.”
~ Shevaun, Poetry Participant, Philadelphia, PA

"I cannot express it enough: the writing opportunities that you provide are a GODSEND. We are all so busy in our daily lives–working, caregiving for young and old, surviving our daily challenges–that to have an uninterrupted respite to write and speak only of the craft of writing for a whole weekend is bliss. I truly enjoyed the Winter Getaway and its supportive community." – Karen, Highland Park, NJ
