Description
You have undoubtedly heard of the haiku, but maybe not the Japanese senryu, gogyokha, tanka, katauta and sedoka. These non-rhyming poetic forms, mostly based on counting sound units or syllables, are short – only 3-6 lines each. Together, we’ll learn about them, read and discuss examples, and practice writing them—no previous poetry writing experience necessary.
Tracy Marks, M.A. is author of four books, translated into nine languages, and has won several poetry and creative writing awards. She is also an experienced counselor. Tracy has taught in continuing ed for 43 years and specializes in literature, creative writing and personal growth courses.
