Haiku and History with Isabella Mori
To explore the site of the Historic Joy Kogawa House residency as a place of history, our March and April writer-in-residence Isabella Mori will dip into a few ways in which haiku intersects with older and recent history, and in which this poetic form is a form of history (starting with the fact that traditional haiku carry season words, which points to natural history).
Participants will be encouraged to write haiku about important moments in their own personal, cultural, or geographic history.

To be held Sunday, April 25, noon to 1:30pm, on Zoom.

The great boast of our species is that we are intelligent yet we seem unable to deal with the facts of environmental degradation.

Bill Deverell’s Stung provides a powerful insight into why.
