ESUJ Lecture (New Year's Special)
Haiku in English
Lecture by Ms. Emiko Miyashita
| Haiku written in English has been practiced by a sufficient number of people over the decades that it is no longer a new genre of poetry. Haiku organizations were founded around the world to bring those poets together to share their work. This programme will begin with a brief introduction to English-language haiku by Ms. Miyashita, followed by her haiku reading, in order to share the fragrance of haiku written in the English language. The third part will be a workshop. Simple and yet deep, haiku is an interesting poetry genre for all who feel the rotation of the earth! Not to be missed. |
