“Those first days before classes started I spent alone in my whitewashed room, in the bright meadows of Hampden. And I was happy in those first days as really I’d never been before, roaming like a sleepwalker, stunned and drunk with beauty.” — donna tartt, the secret history #explorevermont #vermonting #vermontshots #vermontfall #september #septembervibes #benningtonmfa #benningtonwritingseminars #bennington #donnatartt #tsh #thesecrethistory #darkacademia #darkacademiaaesthetic #fallvibes #autumn #autumnaesthetic #newenglandliving #newenglandfall #cottagecore #cottagecoreaesthetic #writerslife #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity (at Bennington College) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cic6n3Ory-o/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.” — shirley jackson, the haunting of hill house #thehauntingofhillhouse #bennington #benningtonwritingseminars #benningtonmfa #benningtoncollege #shirleyjackson #bookquotes #darkacademia #darkacademiaaesthetic #darkacademiavibes #explorevt #explorevermont #newenglandliving #yankeemagazine #bookworm #haunted #hauntedhouse #spookyseason (at Bennington College) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cifr5eHAmwc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Snapshot Recap, Day Five (continued)... . . . #studentreadings #afterparty #benningtoncollege #benningtonwritingseminars #benningtonmfa #juneresidency (at Bennington College)

#Repost @clairefmcmillan (@get_repost) ・・・ After spending a summer launching The Necklace (and still going- West Coast I'm coming for you in Nov)- I needed a way to get back into work, the rhythm, the pacing, the thought. My former and revered prof from @benningtonwritingseminars Alice Mattison has a new book on writing out - The Kite and the String. She's said her intended audience is mid-career writers but anyone who writes (or reads) will find it worthy. Every page is underlined, marked, scored and dog-eared. #amwriting #amreading #writersofinstagram #bookstagram #beginnings #benningtonmfa #benningtoncollege

Get a sense of what @benningtonwritingseminars is about with this D-brief from our June residency, and then apply by Sept. 1 (link in bio) #benningtonmfa @the_grand_ether @sanarei @_morganjerkins @safiyasinclair (at Bennington College)
