Produktbeschreibung

The fifth annual Kapiti Coast District Libraries poetry contest If You're a Poet, We Want to Know It -- invited poets to submit up to three haiku. Haiku is a traditional short Japanese poetry form which has enjoyed popularity around the world.

Local author Karen Peterson Butterworth describes the process of writing haiku this way: "Haiku is often described as one breath. A haiku moment can occur when you observe two things happening together and make a connection in your mind. To make a haiku, you simply write down what you saw, heard, smelled or touched in plain language. The next step is to trim your haiku to the bare essentials".

The theme of this year's contest was Kapiti anything about Kapiti or living in Kapiti. We invited poets to freely interpret this theme, whether about people the poet knows in the community, familiar places or how Kapiti makes the poet feel.

We were delighted with the range of subjects in the haiku submitted, anything from the island itself, familiar landmarks and area roads, to the nature of living in the Kapiti area.

You'll find in this volume the over 100 haiku submitted across each of three age groups:

Children age 6-12
Teens age 13-18
Adults age 19 and older

As in previous years, we are providing the book in print and as an eBook. Thanks are due to our digital services, community programmes, youth services and heritage and Maori teams, who together coordinated and judged the contest and open mic readings, and prepared the book for publication both in print and electronically.
