Haiku Walking Tour Two: Here and Now - Celebration Square

Here and Now, Discover Mississauga and More will be an eBook that we hope to create with two haiku walking tours and three online haiku workshops.

We are cordially inviting you to participate in this new project: Building creative/resilient Communities through haiku workshops including two haiku walking tours and three online workshops, funded by Mississauga Arts Council’s MicroGrant Program through the support of RAMA Gaming House – Charitable Gaming at City of Mississauga.

Everyone is welcome to join us. You will have the opportunities to discover various artists and enjoy the diversity, dynamics and beauty of Mississauga and Nature, and create your own artistic work. The selected work will be published in our eBook: Here and Now, Discover Mississauga and More…For the whole project with other workshops, please check: https://www.surewaypress.com/haiku-walking-tours

This is the third activity:

July 23, 2022: haiku walking tour at celebration square

time: 2:00pm-4:00pm

We will meet at the upper lever near the fountains at celebration square. Look for Anna's poster.

Participants gather and Anna gives a brief instruction (also see the video below), then reads a few samples, then asks participants to take a walk to observe and try to write haiku, then gather to share. You can keep what you have written, and use them for online haiku editing workshops.

Workshop leader: Anna Yin who has instructed 100 Poetry Alive workshops and authored five poetry collections. Anna was Mississauga’s Inaugural Poet Laureate (2015-2017) and Ontario representative for the League of Canadian Poets (2013-2017). https://annapoetry.com
