Students in 2004 Global Haiku Tradition

Assignments Guide for Spring 2004

A special feature of the spring course was that students conducted interviews by e-mail with leading contemporary haiku poets. We studied the history of haiku and related poetics in Japan, and then examined the contemporary internalization of haiku in various international cultures.

This spring of 2004, our special guest was haiku poet and teacher, Bill Pauly, of Dubuque, Iowa.
