In this workshop Oregon poet Margaret Chula will explore a wide range of tanka, both by Japanese and contemporary Western poets. Participants will discover how each tanka ‘sings’ and then take pen to paper to create personal melodies composed of everyday experiences. Chula has been writing and teaching haiku, tanka, and haibun for more than thirty years. She has published seven full-length collections of poetry and a CD of Grinding my ink. Her newest book, Just This, was published by Mountains and Rivers Press.

Limited to 12 particpants. Sign ups are required.
