Each student will take two two-hour workshops a day in their genre from 9:30-11:30 am and 2:00-4:00 pm and spend the rest of the time writing and exploring the grounds. Students will live onsite in well-appointed guest houses during the residency. Students will share bedrooms, bathrooms, living, and dining spaces. The Pocantico Center will provide a grocery stipend for breakfasts and lunches, as well as catered family-style dinners. The residency is open to all poets and prose writers, including historically underrepresented artists, such as those who identify as Black, Indigenous, people of color, LGBTQ+, women, nonbinary, or disabled. Please check the HVWC website for details on December 1st. A private reading on campus for students and faculty will take place at The Pocantico Center on June 5 to celebrate the residency. Cost per person is $2,500. There will be four full need-based scholarships available, two in each of the genres. Space is limited.
