This series of six Zoom workshops runs fortnightly, and is a chance for up to four poets (who might have already been published in journals, have completed two or more of our haiku classes formerly, or be at the equivalent level) to push themselves with their haiku, in the spirit of the "pursuit of excellence", masterclass-style. If you feel you are not quite ready for this, we also have The Wonderful Pursuit of Haiku, which is a bit less intense, but still looks to support people who want to push themselves further in the art!
There will be no prompts for these workshops. You are simply invited to bring two haiku or senryu from your ongoing work to the first session. For the subsequent sessions you can also opt to bring rewrites for refinements.
There will be tutor-led analysis and feedback (with Alan Summers), with the ability to ask questions about your own and others' haiku. The aim is to fully focus on each participant's work and its development over the sessions. Feedback also includes advice for participants who wish to submit their work to literary journals.
We're keeping to a maximum of four people for The Fine Pursuit of Haiku, to ensure a really productive balance of sharing of work, and individual attention. Thank you for your interest!
