Lafcadio Hearn Japanese Gardens, Tramore, Saturday February 2nd at 10am to 1pm
Haiku is the shortest and one of the oldest poetry forms in the world, having originated in Japan in the 17th Century. It is primarily a nature poem but can also be used to describe human situations.
In this workshop, you will learn key techniques for writing haiku and seek inspiration from the sights, sounds and smells of the season. The workshop will include a walk in the beautiful Lafcadio Hearn Japanese gardens in search of ‘haiku moments’.
The workshop will be led by acclaimed poet and haijin Maeve O’Sullivan, author of four haiku / poetry collections from Alba Publishing (UK), the most recent of which is Elsewhere (2017).
Cost: €25 per person plus garden entry fee of €5
