Alan Summers, Embassy of Japan's roving "Japan-UK 150" haiku & renga poet-in-residence will be at Bath Central Library for the whole of October starting with National Poetry Day this Thursday at 2pm.
Come on down to Bath Central Library on National Poetry Day at 2p.m. to help launch the poem!
The mission is to create the World’s longest ever poem with the help of visitors to Bath Central Library.
RENGA
Renga is a traditional Japanese group poem that is ‘shared writing’: everyone is allowed the chance to write, or orally suggest a verse. It’s very inclusive, creative, and encouraging, and the making of this communal poem is as important as the final result.
THE AIM
The aim is that towards the end of the residency we can display the finished renga poem in the library; to present a sense of achievement to the local community; and to develop a further interest in Japanese culture.
