Do you haiku? I do! If you ever wanted to write haiku poetry, join me at the Old Metairie Library where I will read from my latest haiku book Singing Waters, A Selection of Haiku, Senryu, and Haibun, and give a mini-workshop about the haiku basics to help you write your first haiku or help you sharpen your haiku skills. For adults only.

For Grown-ups - Johnette Downing joins Louisiana Poet Laureate Mona Lisa Saloy and other Louisiana poets for the Just Listen to Yourself National Poetry Month poetry reading at the State Library.

Johnette is among a list of twenty readers for the Powow River Poets Reading series this month via Zoom. The theme this month is love. Johnette will read her haiku and senryu, including love selections from her upcoming book Singing Waters, A Selection of Haiku, Senryu, and Haibun.
