Oh, haiku. That most oversimplified form of short poetry. What's often reduced to a simple counting of syllables stems from a flexible exploration of senses and sensation, unencumbered by metaphor and too many words. But what can this loose form teach us about writing fiction? What lessons can we take from this structure and apply to our works? And, on that note, what lessons can we take from fiction and apply to haiku?
This 90-minute generative workshop will explore what goes into writing a haiku and how to use those lessons on imagery in prose. During the workshop, we'll write our own haiku, expand those into flash-fiction pieces, and put together a digital class zine to show off our work.
Saturday April 1 at 11AM PDT and 5PM PDT, pay what you can ($20 suggested).
