Don't Worry Spider! The Haiku of Issa *NEW*

Kobayashi Issa, one of Japan's most beloved haiku poets, overcame tragedy to write haiku about life and abundance. Issa is the poet of the small detail, the overlooked moment. A blade of grass in the sunlight, a spider spinning her web. We will learn about Issa's life, read many of his haiku, and try our hand at writing haiku with his guidance, advice, and inspiration. Each participant will receive a copy of the instructor's latest accordion haiku book, Everywhere, and a small field notebook. Everyone is welcome to this fun, supportive course.
