The Basics of Haiku-season words

Shin Tao Haiku Retreat presents an installment of The Basics of Haiku, wherein we examine many of the key components to writing haiku in English.
This week we will be taking a look at Season Words. Please join us in the courtyard of the Library of Haiku for a discussion on the importance of the seasonal element in the history of haiku, and how you can use it to better your own poems. Friday, March 20, 7.30 pm, slt. Come help us explore the world through haiku.
