Nature's Brushstroke: The Art of Haiku

$0.00

September 2, 2-4 PM

Haiku are short unrhymed poems about everyday experiences and/or observations, typically associated with a particular season or time of year, a record of a moment of emotion in which human nature is linked to all nature. Jane Hirshfield writes that to read a haiku is to become its coauthor, to place yourself inside its words until they reveal one of the shapes of your own life.

Come write with one of today’s most respected and beloved contemporary haiku practitioners, John Stevenson, editor of the Heron’s Nest, a quarterly journal publishing the best in haiku since 1999. This very special workshop is free with your purchase of a festival pass, starting at $22.50 per day using the code GETLIT at checkout.

Please note: Your festival pass must be purchased separately.
