"he himself had
enjoyed memorable porridges with Edmund Spenser and John
Milton."

I'll bet he did! That was really fun and good and worth the price of admission, I would think.

How was it overall? Is this the kind of thing where you actually get to meet some of the poets?
Yes, you can meet the poets. There are readings, poets talking about their work and the process of writing a poem, and a huge tent book store filled with books of poetry. Imagine a room full of people clapping and cheering at the end of poetry reading. It's kinda a heaven for poetry lovers.
