Alan Summers: “Haiku are poems rooted in natural history and the seasons; they make us conspirators with wildlife, as nature half-writes the haiku before we’ve even put pen to paper.”

Join The Dartmoor Summer Haiku Almanac workshop and walk on Sunday 13 June from 10am to 4pm, with workshop leaders Alan Summers and Karen Hoy.

The aim of the day is to produce Dartmoor Haiku for the creation of a Devon Haiku Almanac. This follows in the tradition of haiku poets in Japan, who traditionally produce seasonal almanacs – Haiku Saijiki.

An important note is to bring both old and new Devon/Dartmoor colloquial terms, nicknames, sayings, and street slang to help create a Haiku Saijiki for Devon.

Workshop fees are by donation, with a suggested £10 to £25 for all day.

Workshops must be booked in advance as numbers are often limited.

To reserve your place call or email Jennie Osborne on 01803 840541 or jenniedancing@googlemail.com.
