Join The ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes for an Adventure through Japan with poet, Michael Czarnecki on Monday, November 10, from 7-9pm at The ARTS Council, 79 W Market St in Corning, NY.Michael recently returned from a 3 ½ week trip to Japan, following a part of the ancient journey traveled by Japanese poet, Matsuo Bashō, considered the master of Haiku. Bashō lived from 1644 to 1694, renouncing the social and urban lifestyle of literary people, instead preferring to wander through the Northern wilderness of Japan in search of inspiration for his writing. Today, Michael traveled along much of the same routes that Bashō was said to have traveled, meeting new people, experiencing a new-to-him culture, writing haiku and tanka, and taking photographs. Freshly returned to the United States, Michael will share his journey with us through his poetry, his photographs, and his stories.
This program is free and open to the public. Questions? Email Casey Winston at [email protected].
This program is made possible with partial funding from Poets & Writers.
