Hike-oo The world of poetry is vast. Epic poems range anywhere from 10,000 to 200,000 lines of verse, whereas the Japanese poetry form haiku is usually limited to just three lines and a set syllable pattern. This generative workshop takes place outdoors, as most haikus take inspiration from nature, and is taught by Spokane Print and Publishing Center founding owner and member Dorian Karahalios. Generate your own haikus after a short lecture from Karahalios and a stroll through the Nishinomiya Tsutakawa Japanese Garden at Manito Park. Journals, pencils and refreshments are provided, just bring your creative spirit, literary chops and willingness to break out of the mold of what you typically believe to be a haiku.
