Monday Night Poetry Six Week Workshop: Revision & Resistance with Tina Cane (via Zoom)

Tina Cane will teach the second session of 2025 Monday Night Poetry, HVWC's popular poetry class series. Note: You do not have to have been enrolled in the first session to register for this class.

REVISION AND RESISTANCE—a workshop. William Faulkner’s famous advice: “In writing, you must kill all your darlings,”

is easier said than done. In this six-week course, we will reflect upon poetry as a form of resistance, and upon revision as a form

of reflection. We will read poems that disrupt. We will poem through disruption. We will reflect upon inherited assumptions

and structures within our poems and within our lives. By examining and pushing back against reflexive habits in our writing,

we will consider radical revision as a path towards new poems.
