ESUJ Lecture
Haiku in English Part 2
Lecture by Ms. Emiko Miyashita
Hot on the heels of our hugely successful
New Year's Special Lecture on Haiku in English, ESUJ is
again welcoming Ms. Emiko Miyashita to take us once more
into the simple yet profound world of haiku, this time
on the theme of "How to enjoy a haiku party."
Haiku is 'literature by the group', proposing and selecting
phrases, expressing interest in and reaction to the choices
that are made. Participants are urged to bring along a
couple of three-line English haiku poems of their own
about how autumn is seen, heard, tasted, or smelled. Examples
of possible themes are moonlight, insect sounds, and leaf-viewing
while enjoying new sake. First time participants are very
welcome. Explore your sensitivity freely, and give haiku
writing a try! |
