WELCOME TO THE HVWC CALENDAR: home of all our upcoming readings, events and workshops. You can view by list or calendar (see right menu to choose). Click the colored tabs below to show only specific options. Our workshops run as multi-session series or one-day “intensives.” Note, we list the multi-session courses on the first day they meet only. The full dates of the session are described in the course descriptions. You would need to scroll back to the start date if you needed to enroll for something already underway. But do let us know if you want to join something in midstream since we need the blessing of the instructor. Questions? Email us.

The Radical Revision: Generative Poetry Workshop with Nicholas Goodly (via Zoom)
May 18 @ 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm
$130.00
This workshop focuses on revision and editing methods for poetry. We will explore some editing techniques that can radically alter the course of the work and allow the writer to look at their own poems as raw material for new creations. In this workshop, your drafts will become building blocks to play with. We will also work with generative poetry prompts and exercises as additional tools for the poetic process.
NB: This class will be taught on Zoom and will be capped at 15 students. Registrants will receive the Zoom link to the email address they use to register. It will arrive immediately after registration so please check your spam folder if you do not receive it. It will also be sent the day before class as a reminder. Please review the course policies page before registering for any classes. Please email [email protected] with any questions.
