Haiku Narratives with Amy, Davin, and Michael - June 2021

June, 2021 Haiku Narratives

Curator's Note:


We started a couple of years ago, and since then Davin Carr-Chellman, Amy Hoppock, and I have been writing and sharing haiku's monthly with each other. It has been an enriching and enjoyable way to develop our individual haiku writing practices. 


It goes like this: Each person shares a haiku they have written with each other. Usually, as you'll see below, we put them on cards or bookmarks which we can keep ourselves, and often make more to share with others. We either mail these to each other (how nice to get a haiku, hand-addressed, in the mail!) or send them electronically. We each then write a narrative response to each other's haiku, including our own, and then we get together to share our responses. The poet reads their own haiku, the others read their responses to it, and then the author reads their own narrative about it. In that way, we independently think about each haiku and then learn from each other. 


It is a lot of fun!


We enjoy doing this so much we thought you might enjoy being a part of the conversation as well, so we started recording them over a year ago. If you watch the clip here, you will see our discussions are very informal and that we laugh a lot.


This is our fourteenth recording, and we hope to continue. Please let us know what you think, and share this with anyone you think might benefit.
