WRI 335W - Poetry Practicum:Haiku,Linked Verse and the Bioregion

Institution:

Naropa University

Subject:

Description:

Haiku is a Pacific Rim poetry form. It originated in Japan and spread internationally, becoming Japan's best-known export. As a form of poetry it uses precise information about what we now term bioregions. It can be cool & glacially slow, or up close & passionate. This two-day workshop with field trips investigates specifics of our Southern Rocky Mountain bioregion for use in short-form verse. "In place of haiku" is how Lorine Niedecker put it. We'll try five-line versions, mesostics, lunes and collaborative linked-verse projects as well as considering poetry's links to other formal arts. Open to W&L and W&P students only, others by permission of the department.
