What are Haiku Northwest meetings like?
Our meetings focus mainly on the sharing and critiquing of haiku offered on sheets of paper that members pass around and read aloud. We usually include our names on the poems, so the discussion is not anonymous, except for occasional special workshops. Our workshopping focus helps us improve our poetry as we share and comment on our writing. If it’s your first time, you are welcome to just observe and listen, or to chime in as the spirit moves. Poets of all experience levels are always welcome, and our regular meetings are always free.
