The Glasgow Endowment for Visiting Writers will sponsor a Haiku Writing Session in English on Saturday, November 11th 10-12 in the atrium of the Watson Pavilion.  A haiku gathering held in the shadow of the Japanese tearoom - what better way to spend a Saturday morning in Lexington?  Ms. Kinuko Jambor, a scholar and teacher of haiku, will be leading a workshop on writing haiku in English using traditional methods for all interested participants.  Ms. Jambor resides in Roanoke and leads the Blue Ridge International Haiku Club.  Members of Blue Ridge International Haiku will attend with Ms. Jambor.  The working session is limited to 20 participants, although observers are also welcome to attend.  You need no background in haiku or Japanese to participate.  If you wish to be put on the list of workshop participants, please contact Janet Ikeda by Monday, October 30th (ikedaj@wlu.edu or Tel. 458-8748).  Open to all.
