Grandview Heights

Meeting Room

Explore this traditional Japanese short form of poetry with award-winning poet Jennifer Hambrick.

In this hands-on workshop, with branches budding, flowers blossoming, and all nature coming to life, there is no better time than spring to learn the joys of writing haiku. 

  • Participants will learn the anatomy of haiku by exploring excellent examples of published haiku in English.
  • We'll write our own haiku and share them with the group, as comfortable.
  • And we'll have a chance to write our haiku on plantable seed paper – so we can watch our poems bloom! 

For adults & youth ages 14+. Class maximum: 15. No fee.

<<< Registration required beginning March 25.

Hambrick's most recent poetry collection, a silence or two, will be available for sale.

Jennifer Hambrick is the author of four books of poetry, including a silence or two (Red Moon Press, 2024), a collection of haiku and short prose poems acclaimed as "a stunning collection ... destined to become a haiku classic." Hambrick has won many national and international awards for her free verse poetry and poems in Japanese short-form genres, including haiku.
