Haiku at the Shack

  • Island Beach State Park, Parking Lot A13 (map)

Learn the traditional Japanese form of Poetry! Typically focusing on nature, a specific moment in time, or the human condition, and relying on simplicity and vivid images, IBSP’s Judges Shack is the perfect location to start your Haiku journey.

Haiku at the Shack

Experience IBSP from a different perspective as Naturalists and volunteers from the Nick Virgilio Haiku Association guide you through a short lesson, a hike to the famous Judges Shack and a community writing session! This event is accessible to those without any experience, and still explorative for established writers.
