P115 Japanese Poetic Forms is a six-week facilitated course in the writing and sharing of Japanese poetic forms. Haiku is of course the most accessible to the Western writer; however, it is a form of greater depth than some of us have experienced. In addition to haiku, we will also practice the writing of tanka, renga, haibun, senryu, and haiku sequences. This course will also stimulate discussion of these forms and what they contribute to modern poetry.
