Join us on Zoom for a collaborative tutorial introducing and celebrating National Poetry Month! 

Love poetry? Hate it? Don't know?

Feel like writing? Just want to listen?

All are welcome to share favorite poems and new ideas, and discuss what poetry and words mean in our lives. We'll start with the ancient Japanese form of haiku: 5 syllables, then 7, then 5 again, living and breathing in the stillness of a fleeting moment.

Then we'll learn how to create a simple one-page zine, and put those ideas to paper!

All you'll need is a blank sheet of plain paper and a pen or pencil. With eight pages to fill with words, drawings, and whatever else comes to mind, we’ll celebrate the oldest form of literature and learn to create our own.
