Workshop | Imagery-Based Haiku Poetry


Jay Friedenberg, Professor of Psychology and Chair of the Psychology Department at Manhattan College, ... more >> is also proficient in landscape painting, digital photography, graphic design, and poetry, including haiku. In this activity, he will engage the audience in a series of visually-evoked poetry exercises.

The haiku will be formed by using the relationships between objects, actions, and narratives in the scenes. They will then share poems with one another in discussion groups and answer questions about the process. The hope is that, as haiku poets, you will learn to compose more often from real-world imagery rather than from intellectual or literary-inspired sources.
