	The Safety of Objects
		In the summer of 1989 I was invited to Yaddo, the infamous art colony in upstate New York.
		Hidden in the woods among the tall northern pines near Saratoga Springs, Yaddo is a magical castle, a gothic mansion, filled with dark wood, furnishings that have been there for one hundred years, ghostly stories, real live bats slipping through cracks and flying like stealth planes, through the dark corridors.
		In the evenings at Yaddo there are sometimes readings or performances by the guests—or there is the town of Saratoga.

	Read
		In the decades that Yaddo has functioned as an artists' retreat, hundreds of writers, composers, painters, filmmakers, and photographers have lived and worked at West House—including the famous "pink room," which was Katrina's bedroom and is, therefore, a favored setting for ghost sightings and bizarre occurrences.
		For the six weeks that the track is open, as you walk around Yaddo you can hear the announcer and the roar when the finish line is reached, and you can watch hordes of people, many clutching deck chairs and coolers, stream down the avenue on their way to the first race.
		Yaddo and Bennington share several things, having sprung into being at a similar moment in American history; many of the teacher practitioners on Bennington's faculty (and a good number of its alumni) have also come to Yaddo as guests over the years.

	Press Information
		Plans for the future of Yaddo were set forth legally in 1900, but seemed doomed when Spencer Trask was killed in a railroad accident in 1909, before his finances had recovered from the economic depression of 1907.
		During the 1930s and 40s, Yaddo was a haven for refugees from Nazi persecution, and many of the letters to Elizabeth Ames contain poignant reflections on the loss and uncertainty of the World War II era.
		The Yaddo Records are a significant resource in the study of cultural history of the past century, particularly given the remarkable depth of talent of the artists who have been guests there.

	PoetryFoundation.org: “Deeply and Mysteriously Implicated”
		Yaddo in 1949 was to be a different story.
		What Maisel only suggested, and Ames’s correspondence seems to confirm, is that her own story—which is to say, her relations with Smedley—was, just as Lowell claimed, “deeply and mysteriously involved.” Ames had originally allowed Smedley a long stay at the colony because of the kindness she had shown Ames’s dying sister.
		On March 26, 1949, the Yaddo board unanimously voted to reject the charges brought against Ames and to keep the director at her post.
