Contact Poet’s Island
Interested in learning more about the island, Hugh Ogden, or the Writer’s Retreat? Contact us through our online form.
“That island provides the solitude I require for my writing, a liquid place of mountains and fierce shifts of weather and temperature, an isolation in which I hear the voices that call me to poems.”
Spaces of Creativity
“I’ve built three cabins on an island in Rangeley Lake in Maine where I often live in winter as well as summer when I’m not teaching. Construction, the machine shop, human labor as well as loons, moose, and bear provide the subjects and imagery of recent poems.” -Hugh Ogden
