Haiku Moments with David Bingham

Join David Bingham for Haiku moments, who will lead us through activities to learn about the Japanese origins of haiku and the characteristics of contemporary haiku written in English.

Particpants will be invited to write contemporary haiku in English and share the haiku they have written.

They will also learn about where to follow up the session, if they wish, by sending haiku for publication and how to become involved in local and national haiku activities.
