As part of our mission to provide the youth of our community with
the highest quality writing instruction, the HPWP proudly
sponsors workshops with famous authors.

One of our most exciting writing workshops was with
poet Jimmy Santiago Baca.

Mr. Baca conducted a writing workshop on behalf of HPWP at the Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell campus in 2006. The workshop was attended by secondary students from around the Pecos Valley.
Mr. Baca addresses the students at the workshop.
During the poetry workshop, students heard Mr. Baca read his own poetry and then had the opportunity to write their own poetry, share it with their peers and Mr. Baca, and receive constructive criticism and feedback to strengthen their writing.
Writing with and for one's peers is a truly validating experience for young writers.
Being able to share their writing with a respected professional poet such as Mr. Baca was very exciting for these talented youngsters.
