HAIKU WALK
Free and Open to the Public
Saturday, March 8 at 2 PM
Celebrate National Haiku Writing Month with a guided haiku walk (gingko) with Ukiah Branch Library. We will meet at the library entrance and walk/roll/stroll around downtown Ukiah on Saturday, March 8 at 2 p.m. The walk will be led by Melissa Eleftherion Carr. We will make poems based on visual and aural observations of our surroundings and play with meter, rhythm, and cadence to discover where the syllables take us.
Eleftherion Carr is a writer, librarian, and visual artist. They are the author of the full-length poetry collections, “field guide to autobiography” (The Operating System, 2018), and “gutter rainbows” (Querencia Press, 2024), as well as 12 chapbooks including “abject sutures” (above/ground press, 2024). Eleftherion Carr lives in Northern California where she manages the Ukiah Branch Library, curates the LOBA Reading Series, and serves as Poet Laureate Emeritus of the City of Ukiah.
This free event is open to all ages and sponsored by the Friends of the Ukiah Valley Library and Mendocino County Library. Please contact the Ukiah Branch Library at 707-463-4490 to sign up.
