2006 Sigma Tau Delta International Convention
Portland Hilton — Portland, Oregon
March 30 – April 2, 2006
“Of the colors, blue and green have the greatest emotional range. Sad reds and melancholy
yellows are difficult to turn up. Among the ancient elements, blue occurs everywhere: in ice and
water, in the flame as purely as in the flower, overhead and inside caves, covering fruit and oozing
out of clay. Although green enlivens the earth and mixes in the ocean, and we find it, copperish,
in fire; green air, green skies, are rare.” (p.75)
From William Gass, On Being Blue
Conference Theme: Green
Portland , Oregon,
the site of the 2006 Sigma Tau Delta Convention
is a green city, alive to the possibilities of poetry and prose,
a green world alive to the magic of words.
Come to Portland, and bring your words—and the worlds they make up—with you.
