Bright Hill Press To Host Poetry Workshops
TREADWELL—Syracuse-based poet Georgia Popoff is offering two six-week adult workshops at Bright Hill Press & Literary Center of the Catskills. The workshops will focus on haiku and prose poetry.
According to the center’s social media, Bright Hill Press, 94 Church Street, Treadwell, is a nonprofit organization “dedicated to increasing audiences' appreciation of the writing arts and oral traditions that comprise American literature, and to encouraging and furthering the tradition of oral poetry and writing in the Catskills and beyond.”
Popoff’s first workshop, “The World Beyond Haiku—Examining Japanese Form,” will be offered virtually and runs June 17 through July 22. Sessions will take place from 7-9 p.m. on Mondays.
Popoff writes: “The beauty of haiku is its brevity, as well as its challenge, but haiku is just the first step into the forms made popular by the Japanese mystics. We will look at tanka, examine the sister forms of haiku and senryu, explore choka, haibun and zuihitsu, and create a renga together.”
