Haiku Writing Roundtable

Course Description

EN170 Haiku Writing Roundtable was a student centered one-credit workshop modeled after writers' groups. This workshop met as a weekly reading circle.

For the fall 2002 semester, we explored the Japanese and English haiku traditions. Students read and wrote about the haiku tradition, and tried several approaches to composing their own original haiku.
