At January 30, 2025 at 7:00 PM, SalonHVWC will kick off its Masters of Craft Poetry Series with a lecture by Dorianne Laux, an award-winning poet and beloved professor. This series features five renowned poets who will share insights on the craft of poetry, drawing from their decades of experience. Unlike typical workshops, these monthly lectures offer uninterrupted access to some of today’s most respected poets, allowing attendees to benefit from their wisdom over the course of five months.
Event Details:
The lectures will be held via Zoom from 7:00 to 8:00 PM EST. Participants will receive the Zoom link upon registration and a reminder the day before each lecture.
Attend all five lectures for a discounted rate of $500, or purchase individual sessions for $150 each.

Her previous works include The Book of Men, which won The Paterson Prize, and Facts About the Moon, which earned The Oregon Book Award. She is also the author of What We Carry, a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, and The Poet’s Companion, co-authored with Kim Addonizio. Her latest collection, Life On Earth, was released in January 2024 and was longlisted for the National Book Award.
