Learn to Write Haiku

Poetry Workshop with Heather Lang Cassera

Explore haiku beyond the three-line, five-seven-five syllable guidelines and embrace the spirit of this ancient poetry and its endless possibilities. All ages and experience levels welcome!

Do you remember when you first discovered haiku? Explore the traditional haiku structure beyond the three-line, five-seven-five syllable guidelines and embrace the spirit of this ancient poetry and its endless possibilities. Whether you're a published poet, a grand-slam champion, or have never written a poem, this workshop is for you. The casual evening will include generative prompts and writing time. You'll go home with a new poem or two!
