The beauty of haiku is its brevity and its challenge, but haiku is just the first step into the forms made popular by the Japanese mystics. We will look at tanka, examine the sister forms of haiku and senryu, explore choka, haibun, and zuihitsu, and create a renga together week by week.
This workshop meets virtually on Zoom Mondays 7-9pm
The art show will be in the Word and Image Gallery, final submissions are due August 7
