## Structure
|
||
|
||
* Intro
|
||
* Introductions around
|
||
* Expectations
|
||
* Generate zine, available for free as site/pdf, or for tips
|
||
* Lead with some haiku
|
||
* Go into what a haiku is (not just 5-7-5)
|
||
* Exercise 1:
|
||
* Show some images
|
||
* Attendees should pick two things they notice from each image, aim for a bit of contrast
|
||
* Write those two things on two lines, as much as they want
|
||
* Images and sensations vs metaphor
|
||
* Haiku as minimalist evocation of sensations using only images
|
||
* More appropriate structure:
|
||
* About 12 stressed syllables
|
||
* Two images
|
||
* Can include a volta, often relating to seasonal imagery
|
||
* Minimal language usage
|
||
* Concrete evocation
|
||
* Exercise 2:
|
||
* Turn those two images into a haiku
|
||
* Remember, doesn't need to be 5-7-5, though don't let that stop you
|
||
* Evocation in fiction
|
||
* When to use metaphor, when to use concrete evocation
|
||
* Utility of surprise
|
||
* Exercise 3:
|
||
* Leading with your haiku, write a short (<500) word scene in prose that turns this into a story
|
||
* Try to evoke the same sensations/moods that the haiku did
|
||
* What can fiction lend to haiku?
|
||
* Characters (in the loosest sense) within images
|
||
* Directionality between two images, maintaining tension within haiku form
|
||
* Exercise 4 (if there's time):
|
||
* Take two images from your scene and turn them into a haiku
|
||
* Pay attention to what you gain and what you lose in terms of sensations
|
||
* What can you bring back to fiction?
|
||
* Suggest that you can start this series of exercises in the other direction (fiction -> haiku -> fiction) too
|
||
* Conclusion
