Beyond Haiku: Three other short forms from around the world, featuring Shutta Crum

12:00 pm to 1:00 pm  -  Register on Eventbrite

Join Shutta Crum for a unique poetry workshop on the alternative forms of haiku. Most English speakers/writers know of very few short forms other than the Japanese forms of haiku, tanka and haibun. This generative workshop will introduce the chastushka (Russia), the pensee (France), and the tetractys (Greece). We’ll practice a form, then break it to create one’s own version. Handout on other forms will be available.

Shutta Crum has won 8 Royal Palm Literary Awards. She’s had 150+ poems published, been nominated for a Pushcart Prize, authored eighteen traditionally published books for children, and three chapbooks of poetry with Kelsay Books. When You Get Here won a gold RPLA. Meet Me Out There is her latest chapbook.
