Evolved within the islands of Japan for several centuries, Haiku is one of the most popular forms of poetry today. However, writing haiku is a complex process. Being able to write good haikus can help you become better at other forms of poetry as well. During this workshop, participants will learn the art of conveying their feelings using concrete and objective images, free of judgment or analysis and juxtaposing them through cuts. Through a guided discussion, participants will also be encouraged to write their own haikus.
We will also look at the work of the three great Haiku masters: Matsuo Basho, Yosa Buson, and Kobayashi Issa, and learn a thing or two from their vision, craft, and life.
