In preparation for the Haiku Deathmatch Alt Slam on Mon., Nov. 9, we are having a Haiku Deathmatch workshop.
Sat., Oct. 24
2-4pm
Free
Britannia Library, Gallery Room
- Behind in writing your 50 haiku? (you only need 20 but 50 or more is suggested)
- Want an edge in the competition?
- Not competing but want to explore a different, supercharged style of poetry?
Can you answer questions like:
- When is the best time to pull out that showstopper haiku?
- How do you know which ones are your winning haiku?
- How can you write an audience-grabbing haiku?
We will cover:
- What elements of traditional haiku to keep and which to throw out for a Deathmatch battle
- What will set your haiku apart from the competition
- Strategies from the pros, such as:
--- Top 10 tips from the host of the national head to head haiku competitions.
--- The 1 mistake that Jack McCarthy says to avoid making.
- Time for writing
Run by Jill Binder.
All are welcome. You don't have to be in the competition to participate in the workshop.
