PoetAnne2012 is creating a page dedicated to not only the current celebration of the 400th birthday of founding mother / first poet Anne Dudley Bradstreet (1612-1672) but also to the special place that is the Merrimack Valley of Massachusetts. It is a place of encouragement and support of the creative process.
As Mistress Bradstreet wrote in the last lines of "To My Dear Children"
"Make use of what I leave in love And God shall bless you from above"
Let us do that. Americans need to "make use of" this Valley of the Poets as they harvest their heritage!
