LLWRC 874 - Japanese Poetry Workshop

Witness the influence of the four seasons on Japan's culture and poetry in this thoughtful and informative workshop. You will learn about classical Japanese poetry, known as waka, and how to write your own based on established seasonal tropes (plants, animals, weather, colors, etc.). The course will be a mixture of informative discussion and hands-on workshop so you can develop a strong understanding of the subject matter and create your own meaningful writing.
