The fall 2022 edition of the Evergreen Haiku Study Group, led by Michele Root-Bernstein, is taking place virtually. No matter your experience, you’re invited to attend any or all of these monthly gatherings to explore and expand your knowledge of haiku in all its forms.

The October meeting will continue a study of Eric Amann’s The Wordless Poem with a focus on chapters 4-6. To view or download a PDF of The Wordless Poem, visit https://bit.ly/3frtpDG

Please read ahead and come to the meeting with haiku from current journals or your own work that might serve as examples of wordlessness, suchness, and sense-based intuitions.

Monthly study group activities include read-arounds, aesthetic explorations, craft exercises, writing time, anonymous kukai, collaborative play, and other forms of shared appreciation for one of the smallest poetic forms on the planet. Over the course of the year we plan to bring in a haiku poet or two for readings and workshops and to explore related haiku arts such as haibun (prose/poem), haiga (picture/poem), and book-making. All are welcome regardless of experience level.
