Poetry events South & Southeast London

A ‘haiku Valentine’ workshop

Fancy writing a haiku to celebrate Valentine’s day? You could attend the haiku workshop offered by Poetry Network Southeast London, at a Greenwich gallery. The theme is ‘A Valentine’ for nature, so you could write a haiku expressing some feeling about or facet of nature, and learn to write or improve your writing of haiku.

Led by local poets, the workshop will involve reading existing haiku by well known poets, considering what makes an effective haiku, and having a go at your own. Techniques like cut-ups of prose writing and playing ‘haiku consequences’ will help you expand your writing options – and have fun.

It’s in SE10 on Thursday 11 February at 7.30 pm and further details are available on website http://www.madeingreenwich.co.uk
