Red Fox Run Gene Hirsch

On October 19, 2013, in Murphy, North Carolina, a group of poets came together for a one-day retreat to discuss the issue of meaning in their poetry. Guided by Gene Hirsch, each participant read poems and discussed their meanings for the poet and for each of the other participants. They explored the discovery and expression of meaning, which proved to be a rich enterprise. Five factors of meaning that are frequently taken for granted were examined. Red Fox Run, the place where this special retreat was held, became the title of the chapbook that resulted from this work.
