Evergreen Haiku Study Group

Sat, February 9, 2019 1:00 PM - Sat, February 9, 2019 3:00 PM at C301 Snyder Hall

We’ll consider the poetry of ordinary things as we explore the aesthetic principle of wabi-sabi, the appreciation of the impermanent, the imperfect, and the incomplete. Come to share, to write, and (optional) to submit one or two haiku to our anonymous critique. (There will be a 15-minute break before the critique.)

Study group activities include read-arounds, aesthetic explorations, craft exercises, writing time, anonymous kukai, collaborative play, and other forms of shared appreciation for one of the smallest poetic forms on the planet. Over the course of the year we plan to bring in a haiku poet or two for readings and workshops and to explore related haiku arts such as haibun (prose/poem), haiga (picture/poem), and book-making. All are welcome regardless of experience level. Facilitated by Michele Root-Bernstein.
