Join us for a six-week supportive writing workshop designed for folks who have taken haiku classes or have written haiku previously.
Haiku, the most popular form of poetry in the world, connect us more deeply to the natural world and can provide solace in difficult times. This supportive writing workshop is designed for folks who have taken haiku classes or have written haiku previously. In this six-part on-line class, we will wade further into the haiku pond. We will learn more about key elements of haiku, including concision, structure, Japanese aesthetic concepts, and the juxtaposition of concrete experiences. In-class exercises and “homework” writing prompts will inspire our haiku writing. We will also create other related Japanese forms of poetry, including haiga (haiku linked with visual art), haibun (haiku linked with prose), and tan renga (a five-line poem often written by two people). Led by award winning haiku poet, Brad Bennett.
This six-week, online class is $95.
