The Secrets of Haiku, Plymouth Central Library, Saturday 28th February 2026, 12.30pm - 3.30pm

Have you ever wondered how haiku really work? Whether there's something beyond those simple three lines that you're missing? In this hands-on workshop, I'll let you in on the secrets to read and write haiku. You'll learn the origins of this ancient Japanese form, before dismantling the 5-7-5 model through accessible writing exercises and examples from classic and contemporary haiku poets, to create your own meditative slices of miniamlism. This workshop will lead to a temporary public 'haiku walk' installation to be launched at Sound: Plymouth Poetry Festival, 10th - 19th April 2026. Your attendance guanrantees a place for your haiku in the installation.
