Craft Lecture with Gregory Pardlo (via Zoom)

The Hudson Valley Writers Center is proud to present a monthly craft series featuring five award-winning poets & beloved professors. Each poet will share the insights about craft that they have gleaned from decades of devoting themsleves to studying the art of poetry. Unlike a workshop environment that prioritizes student work and student-led conversation in one-off or weekly sessions, these monthly lectures will provide the much-desired chance to listen to some of today’s most renowned writers’ valuable wisdom, uninterrupted, and spaced out intentionally over the course of five months.

NB: These lectures will take place on Zoom from 7-8pm EST. You will receive the link when you register and again the day before each lecture.

We encourage you to join us for all five lectures at the discounted rate of $500. You can also purchase each class individually for $150 per lecture.
