Event details
The haibun is a hybrid form—precise passages of narrative/descriptive prose set off by haiku. Participants in this workshop will read, discuss, and write in this form that harks back to Basho, the master.
Join OSTI and David Meischen for this hour and a half, guided writing workshop during National Poetry Month.
