Guest Post by John Coster
I recently became writer/poet in residence at Fort Juniper in Amherst MA. It’s a little cottage in the woods built originally by the poet Robert Francis. Some notable American authors have lived at Fort Juniper, and Robert Frost, for whom the nearby hiking trail is named, spent many evenings by this very fireplace during the pinnacle of his career. I mention this not to brag, but in hopes of adding a little credibility to to my opinions and eventually some money to my bank account. “Writer in residence” is so much more respectable than “songwriter” or “harmonica player”. Since my first book concerned a number of encounters with a creature answering to the description of Bigfoot, you can easily imagine that I need to add whatever credentials I can to my not so recent Harvard degree.
