“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=

“To be a writer in America today means living a life for which there’s not really a pattern. Writing is hard because one measure of our seriousness as writers is the extent to which we make ourselves vulnerable in those hours.”

We were honored to have novelist, poet, and literary critic Garth Greenwell deliver our 47th Commencement address in January.

“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=

View from residency with a twist. Commons lawn IS this green, but the rain doth fall, and fall, and fall. Our feet may be wet, but we feel no dampening of enthusiasm because we are together in this beautiful place. #benningtonwritingseminars #letitrain #amwriting #mfa

It's getting to be about that time! #juneresidency #benningtonwritingseminars #happyplace
