Ladies and jellyspoons … it’s the moment you have been waiting for!
Eugene’s first (as far as we know anyway) hand-to-hand haiku death match.
There will be a series of “haiku battles”) tonight at Tsunami Books with Raven Mack, a fellow of the Wellstone Writers Retreat in Virginia in an open “battle royale) tournament, followed by a “19-haiku death match” with local poet/novelist Peter Brown Hoffmeister (Too Shattered For Mending, This Is The Part Where You Laugh, and other books).
If you are feeling your bad-ass haiku self you can join in, (BYO haiku) or just watch the action (as much as haiku has action) for free.
The action starts 7 pm Wednesday, Oct. 17, at Tsunami Books, 2585 Willamette Street in Eugene. FREE.
Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
