Thank you to everyone who participated in this class. I've been inspired by all of your poems and learned valuable lessons from the commentary on them.

A big thank you to Alan and team for creating such a stimulating and searching course. I have really enjoyed playing with the concise and challenging form of the monoku..
It has been great working with such a varied and interesting group of writers and it has been interesting to see how each of us has interpreted and responded to the tasks set...

Thank you Alan for the superb commentary. And Karen for the great prompts and Alison, for keeping track of me, as I have been flighty this season!!

I so enjoyed this class with you all -- I can't get enough of the one-liners!! :=)...I hope to see you all in another CotP course soon! And of course, I can never express enough my gratitude to Alan, Karen, and Alison, for your fabulous prompts and invaluable feedback!

This has been a terrific journey. Thank you all for sharing your wonderful monoku. I enjoyed reading and learning from everyone’s work.Thank you, Alan, for your expansive commentaries. So much to think about! A shout out to Karen and Alison, too!

Thanks to all for making this course fascinating, enlightening and entertaining! I have enjoyed everyone's work. This is such an interesting genre, to me. So much said in so few words - it really is an art form, isn't it? You have all submitted excellent monokus and I have learned from everyone. Thanks again, Alan, for a wonderful course. Your assignment material is fabulous (Articulation of the Single Line Haiku). I learned so much.  And thanks Karen, for the inspiring prompts - I always love your prompts!!!

Thank You Alan for another amazing course. Your in-depth and extensive review of our work was phenomenal (as usual) and I really enjoyed this course. Monoku is such an interesting genre. I will continue writing these one-liners in the future.

I have really enjoyed sharing this journey of discovery with you all.

Thank you, Alan, Karen, and Alison! I’ve learned so much in this course and appreciate its design and content. Alan’s comments are transformative and motivating, and I’ll continue to ponder them as well as the many examples and links he's provided.  This is my second Call of the Page experience, and its influence on my writing and knowledge of haiku (and its possibilities) has been enormous. I'm really grateful to have taken part.

Dear fellow writers:
I have learned so much from this class. Not just from commentary on my writing but also from reading your poems and Alan's comments. Congratulations to everyone! I think I still need a lot of practice but at least I don't cringe as much as I try to write a monoku. Best to all of you!

Alan, Karen and Alison....thank you for providing such a wonderful class. I will refer back to the lessons and fly with what I've heard here. I am on the waiting list for the haibun class and look forward to it.

This has been a splendid course. To my classmates, I say "thank you" for sharing your amazing writing. I loved every one of your monokus and learned a great deal from each of you! I find that I love this genre, which is a surprise to me, as I thought it wouldn't be for me. Now I know that it is. I hope to take another  monoku course from you in future, Alan. Thank you for your brilliant suggestions and in-depth attention to all our work. You are an amazing poet and teacher. Thanks, Karen, for the fabulous prompts, and Alan for your "Travelling the single line of haiku" handouts, and Alison, for keeping it all going for us all.

Leslie (2023)

I am thankful to have been privileged to read everyone's work and to also to peek in and see some of your process. It is helpful to see how others go about creating their poems. Thanks to Alison for reminding me about a missed due date, to Karen for the wonderful prompts, and Alan for all the helpful comments he has made regarding my poems. This has been a wonderful experience and I intend in the future to take the shahai course.

Anette (2023)

I have enjoyed being in this class with so many talented poets.
Not only is it fun to see so many styles and read Alan's feedback but also I learn much as I try to to look at each poem from various perspectives. The true joy of reading and re-reading.​

Margaret (2023)

I have really enjoyed this class and I loved the work, and learned a lot from each participant ! ( As well as from you, Alan!) I definitely have a better grasp on reading and writing one line haiku.  Thank you all and much luck in your writing endeavors!!!

Colette (2023)

This has been an amazing opportunity to learn from all of you and to share and enjoy your poems; always a different perspective which I seriously value. Thank you! Alan your essays are marvels which I have kept to reread!

Lynne (2023)

Thank you Alan, Karen and Alison for running an absolutely fascinating course. I have frequently been outside my comfort zone, but it has all been worthwhile thanks to Alan’s incisive and encouraging feedback. I have also really enjoyed reading all the excellent contributions from my fellow poets. Many thanks for sharing your poems and life experiences.

Perhaps most of all, I have learnt to appreciate how difficult it is to compose a good one-line haiku which has increased my admiration and respect for those very talented poets who regularly produce monoku of a high standard. I am so looking forward to reading the inaugural issue of the Pan Haiku Review!
