Students in 2010 Global Haiku Tradition

Assignments Guide for Spring 2010

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.

See the April 11, 2010 episode 11 of Haiku Chronicles which features questions from the Millikin University Global Haiku Traditions students.
