Do you have what it takes to become Haiku Master?
Do you like Japanese culture and food?
Do you like free prizes?
Then join ALA for the second annual Haiku Extravaganza!
We’ll celebrate the coming of spring with a haikai, a traditional haiku exchange and gathering.
Nick Josten will teach a brief workshop on haiku, explaining the rules of traditional haiku and incorporating the more western form, then lead us in a haikai. By the end of the exchange, a Haiku Master will be chosen. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!! But there will also be prizes for runners-up.
Sign up at http://haiku-extravaganza2013.
Can’t make the Haiku Extravaganza? ALA will exhibit a Haiku Cherry Tree in the SLAIS lounge. Write a haiku on a slip of paper provided, attach it to the tree, and watch it grow throughout the week. Donations will go to support ALA@UBC.
