DESCRIPTION:
Haiku is a poetic form deeply rooted in Japanese culture—but it’s so much more than 5-7-5. Its exquisite simplicity opens us to the bright surprise of now. Read and study the work of haiku masters and consider haiku’s intimate connection to nature and the seasons. Each of us will find our own voice, our own way of appreciating and writing haiku. Come prepared to share work (anonymously), and to read and appreciate the work of others. This is a repeat course with an additional facilitator from Spring 2014.
Required reading: Robert Hass, The Essential Haiku, (The Eco Press), 1994.
