Scifaiku is science fiction themed haiku poetry. It is a poetry form that was developed half a century ago and follows similar rules to creating English language haiku, but with a speculative twist. In this workshop, Poet Wendy Van Camp will explain the essential parts needed to compose and structure this specialized poetry form. Brainstorm your way to creating your own speculative poetry.
