Oh, I was intrigued by “A dream within a dream,” the tribute to Edgar Allan Poe, one of my favorite poets/writers of all time. But I searched your Website for this poem (which I assume IS a poem), but could not find it. Where can one find it? Or how is it available?
“A Dream within a Dream” is actually a poem by Poe. You can find it here: http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-dream-within-a-dream/
Oh, Angel, I just now realized… The event itself was named A Dream within a Dream. It featured several local poets either reading from Poe or reading poetry inspired by him.
I was interested on information about you reading to students in the valley on a particular date (Haunted Valley) during the evening. Please get back to me when you can
Laura, why don’t you email me at bowlesdo@gmail.com and we can talk about it?
