This class will help you enter the art of haiku by gaining an understanding of modern English-language haiku, as well as some aesthetics from the traditional Japanese.

The emphasis is on your own writing — how to take two images and let a spark light between them, how to work with season words and emotion, how to non-judgmentally approach each moment.

Participants will find themselves looking at life’s moments in a new way as we learn to “sketch from life” and take in the fall season.

The class is experiential and fun, and is open to anyone.
