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.
This Divided Country: Reconciling the Unresolved, Poetry Workshop with Joan Kwon Glass (via Zoom)
October 14 @ 12:30 pm - 4:30 pm
$150.00
What remains unresolved in your life and in your writing? Using anchor poems about war and internal conflict, we will write about what troubles and unsettles us, developing our own unique voices along the way. In this generative workshop, we will explore the ways in which poetry can provide a battleground for working out the ancient battles inside ourselves, in our ancestries and in our relationships. This workshop will incorporate guided visualization exercises and some discussion of how images and language can help to guide us to reconcile with our demons. Readings will include Anne Sexton, Hanif Abdurraqib, Eugenia Leigh, Suji Kwok Kim, Noor Hindi, C.T Salazar, Torrin A. Greathouse and others.
NB: This class will be taught on Zoom and capped at 15. Link will be sent to email you use to register at the time of registration and again the day before the class. Please make sure to read our course policies page regarding workshop conduct and logistics before registering for any class at HVWC.
The scholarship application for the Altman Person of Color Scholarships, Limp Wrist LGBTQIA+ Scholarships, and the Need-Based Scholarships will be available on May 1 and will be due on May 15 for all summer and fall classes.
