Understanding Haiku: A Workshop

This fall I will be teaching a workshop on haiku at The Arts Center of the Capital Region. I’m very excited! It’s different than the other writing offerings, so I hope people will be interested and sign up.

Forget what you know about counting syllables and understand the art of haiku. This ancient Japanese art form has been translated into the English-speaking world though the use of season words (kigo), cutting (kiru), “aha moments,” and more. We will also explore the related forms of senryu, renga, and haibun. If you are a fan of flash fiction, Twitter, or any kind of micro writing, you won’t want to miss this workshop.
