A moment of inspiration, a moment of beauty, a moment of joy, a moment of insight, a moment you don’t want to forget, all of these have potential to become moments you can savor and share through the ancient art form of haiku, senru, and haiga. Would you like to learn more about these forms? Would you like to learn how to bring this type of poetry into your daily life? If so, join Katrina Serwe for a Poemwalking in Short Forms workshop at WordHaven BookHouse. Katrina has been poemwalking Wisconsin’s Ice Age National Scenic Trail for 1,200 miles, writing these short (and longer) poems for every segment. She will share her process for playing with haiku and related forms as part of daily adventure and capturing memories.

7/12/25 at WordHaven BookHouse, 1-2 PM

$10 (scholarships are available)
