In this week’s mini we discuss the renowned Yaddo Artists’ Colony and the bittersweet story of the woman who envisioned this sylvan retreat on 400 acres in Saratoga Springs, New York. Since its inception in 1926 huge names in American literature have spent time as artists in residence at Yaddo, including important writers like Eudora Welty, Flannery O’Connor, Patricia Highsmith, Katherine Anne Porter, Carson McCullers, Sylvia Plath, Alice Walker, and Lost Lady poet Lola Ridge.
