The Art of Haiku with Richard Tice

Haiku offers simplicity, depth, and the ability to evoke emotion and imagery with just a few carefully chosen words.

This workshop at BARN provides an introduction to the art of haiku, with a focus on the historical and cultural context of Japanese and English haiku. You will learn about the development of haiku, its evolution as a unique form of poetry, and its influence on contemporary literature.
