Events › Conversations in Haiku

Haiku poems are short, “little” poems, first written in Japan, now enjoyed worldwide. In this writing workshop, we will talk about the history and characteristics of haiku, learn how to write our haiku and how to write them with others.

The workshop is an introduction, a group learning project, where everyone can find their place and a way to participate comfortably. No prior writing or poetry experience is necessary to enjoy this workshop.

Jerry Bolick resides in Brisbane, San Mateo County. He is a poet and has taught both children and adults poetry, basic writing and literacy skills. He believes haiku is a natural gateway to writing poetry of all kinds.
