Haiku: a short poem that connects nature and human nature. A poem of the immediate, present moment that opens our awareness of the everyday. We will learn about haiku, its origins, form, and structure, and read many summer haiku. The special focus of this course is how we can more directly relate to the living things that share our spaces, from plants to animals to seashells, sand dollars, and geese overhead. We will learn to use our five senses better to write haiku that help us overcome the sense of species loneliness we often feel. All you have to do is walk out your front door to be inspired by haiku awareness that brings you closer to the other living things on this earth. All are invited to this supportive and fun course. Participants will receive a book of haiku written by the instructor and a small field notebook. Instructor: Jeannie Martin
