Resistance Haiku Workshop

This workshop will be an opportunity for participants at all levels to try their hand at writing haiku that capture their political sentiments.

Although many people think of haiku as "about nature," it is really about life and the world as we experience it. There is a long tradition - in Japan as well as around the world - of writing haiku inspired by one's political experience.

Learn about different ways in which poets have expressed political resistance through haiku, then try writing your own guided by an experienced haiku practitioner.
