Episode Description: In this talk, Clark Strand speaks about the history of Haiku, how we might define it, and how he came to practice it. The word Haiku translates to “playful verse.” The best Haiuku, Clark says, “demonstrate what I would call profound play, meaning that they say something significant while appearing to say almost nothing.” Importantly, Haiku is a social art. It is meant to be engaged in with a playful, collaborative spirit, by communities of practitioners. Clark demonstrates these insights through anecdotes and his own experiences with writing Haiku.
