Just for clarity's sake: David A. may be qualified to host Tanka, but David R. is only qualified to host haiku. I am sure Father Rob meant David A., but I want to make sure it's all clear. The very Sphere abounds in Davids.
Meanwhile, re: Haibun -- conducting a
workshop on haibun the way we usually do the haiku workshop might be a bit unwieldy, but a
discussion about it as part of Lee's visit might be workable. I will try to make it so.
David R.
PS -- looking at the little exchange in this thread between David A. and Michael C., I wonder how one might construct a forum for composing renga. The thread structure of online boards seems a natural fit for it. But this is a digression....
