WRITING POETRY: the haiku way

http://area17.blogspot.com/2010/02/unique-residential-course-monday-friday.html

Monday - Friday 12th - 16th April 2010

Here is a little taster of what we'll be enjoying during the residential course:

• The Haiku Game: great ice-breaker and relaxed way to start the course.
  
• Haiku: its history, techniques, how to keep a haiku journal (complimentary Haiku Journal).
• Ginko: a writing walk, weather permitting, with complimentary Haiku Journal

The course also includes an insight into other 'forms' associated with haiku:

• Tanka: the short love poem
  
• Haibun ( prose with haiku ): great for journals or diary entries, and with travel writing
• Renga: Our last full day will have a 12 verse renga, just for fun!

We will also include how to read or perform haiku; haibun; and how to get published.

This is our second residential course at Claridge House by the way.
After such a successful week last year both Claridge House and the students immediately re-booked us over breakfast on the final day.

The vegetarian meals are utterly incredible, and all vegetarian/vegan diets are covered too!
