PBF Cover to Cover: Write a Renga, Save the World

Sun, Nov 6, 2022 from 2:00 pm PST
Mother Foucault's Bookshop, 523 SE Morrison St Portland, OR 97214

FREE

Renga is a form of collaborative Japanese poetry whereby multiple poets create and respond in turn. Join our group of poets from Portland and abroad for an afternoon of renga writing that examines some of today’s most pressing concerns–bodily autonomy, religious extremism, and imminent environmental ruin. We’ll take inspiration from Basho’s popular “haikai” style, which employed a satirical edge and witty playfulness, even while discussing complex topics.
