Dear Poundians: Some of you may be aware that the University of New Orleans runs a month-long Pound summer seminar at Brunnenburg. It's expensive, but well worth it (I did it myself a decade ago). The instructor, John Gery, is wonderful. There are some terrific weekend trips. And of course, the experience of being there--it is, for us, one of the sacred places, no?-- with Mary is priceless. The seminar might not work for advanced Poundians, but it's perfect for undergraduates or beginning grad students.
