2021 National Poetry Month Celebration
Featuring Dr. Henzbo’s Haiku Hullabaloo, a weeklong celebration of haiku for members of Southern Fried Poetry, Inc.
As a part of our programming for National Poetry Month in April, our aim is to host a week of content geared toward writers and appreciators of haiku. Our intent is to produce a variety of programming that will appeal to a wide audience in hopes of increasing memberships, social media followers, and patrons of the Echo virtual event space.
The programming will consist of a three-session writing workshop, head-to-head haiku competition, and an afterparty.
