International Haiku Day is celebrated in Stratford with the Haiku Hike.
Led by the Stratford performance poet and artist, Wendy Freeman, the group consists of Dave Reeves, poet-in-residence at the Black Country Living Museum, Matt Black, Derbyshire Poet Laureate 2011-13, and Alison Absolute winner of Worcestershire Litfest Poetry Slam.
Promising ‘A very rich and varied programme of Haiku, from Traditional to New Wave, spoken, musical and visual,’ there will be humour and audience participation in the presentations, which will include the use of art objects and props, and music from Dave Reeves who is known for accompanying his poetry readings on harmonica and squeezebox.
The Haiku Hike will start at the Stratford Picture House bar between 1.30 and 2.30pm, where Wendy will host a Haiku Drop-In; then it will move on to the Scott Bar at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre between 3.30 and 4.30pm, where all four poets will perform The Haiku Show. Finally, joined by former Director of Stratford Poetry Festival, Roger Pringle, the four will perform at the Dirty Duck, Waterside at 7.00 pm: there will also be a Haiku Open Mic as part of the evening performance.
