Haiku with You: details

Online Live Class

What to expect

Join me for Haiku with You!

Stories don’t always require paragraphs and pages – sometimes less is more. We will explore memoir writing using the shortest form of literature.

Emerging from the Japanese tradition, haiku is widely known for its 17-syllable (or so) structure. But haiku is more than a format. Using seasonal images to connect and illuminate ideas, haiku can archive a memory, capture a present moment or make a statement.

In this one-session, 1.5-hour workshop, we’ll read samples of old and new haiku poetry. Then we’ll use mindfulness techniques to visit our own pasts, enhance our awareness of the present and transform what we find into haiku.
