Description
Back by popular demand! Do you haiku? Scott Wiggerman covers the essential characteristics of modern haiku (and one of them is not 17 syllables). He discusses Japanese terms and other concepts, including use of imagery, juxtaposition, punctuation, lineation, grammar, concision, etc., as seen in haiku being published today. Then you apply this discussion to writing your own haiku through a series of exercises. Next, participants look closely at what other participants have written and critique them with an emphasis on the lessons of session one. Limited enrollment.
