- Description:
- In an article originally published in 1916, American poet Edwin Arlington Robinson described his experience at the MacDowell Colony, established by composer Edward MacDowell and his wife Marian in Peterborough, New Hampshire, in 1907. Robinson stayed at the colony for the first time in 1911. Initially skeptical about the colony, Robinson returned every summer for the next 25 years. Robinson wrote that "the MacDowell Colony is . . . the splendid outgrowth of a thought that was long in the mind of the most serious, the most scholarly, the most inspired, and probably the most thoroughly sophisticated of American composers.
