Get on board the English language haiku movement. This three hour course will explore some of the best haiku currently being written in English as way toward inspiration and composing haiku of our own. Particular focus on the “ah-ha”moment will reveal the key ingredient of a successful haiku. Although this course is generative in nature, writers are encouraged to bring previously written haiku of their own for fine tuning in a congenial workshop atmosphere. All materials provided by instructor.

It’s a hands-on, nuts-and-bolts session that will set provide you with a recipe for success with your poems. Please bring a manuscript-in-progress or a batch of poems you’d like to see assembled one day between book covers.
