Haibun (Haiku with Prose) and Tanka Stories (Tanka with Prose)
These exciting forms combine the short poems haiku or tanka with prose. They are mostly non-fiction pieces but can also be explored as flash fiction or short stories.
Because this way of writing is so multi-layered, participants would benefit from having some good experience of either the tanka or haiku forms before taking this class.
The submissions can be all haibun, all tanka stories, or a mixture.
Haibun and tanka stories are varied in length (from just a few sentences, to a novella), so we don't put a word limit on individual pieces.
LEVEL: intermediate; advanced.
GROUP SIZE: up to 4.
COST: £100 or US$150 (early bird rate is £85 or US$130, if paying by Thursday 28th Jan)
START DATE: Course materials are available from 31st January, and course enrolment closes February 10th, subject to available spaces.
The first submission date is February 15th.
