In this 7-hour workshop by award-winning poet Kala Ramesh designed for young adults to senior citizens alike, participants will be exposed to the 400-year-old art form from Japan, namely: haiku, senryu and haibun [tight prose embedded with haiku]. The work of Japanese masters and contemporary English-language haiku poets will be discussed along with the tools and the aesthetics involved in understanding these forms, including the subtle art of minimalism and brevity. The spotlight also falls on editing and imagery.
Come! Enter the stream...
