About River Usk Haiku - Paul Chambers
This reading will be a sharing haiku from an ongoing body of work centred on the River Usk. The poems approach the river as a living, changing presence shaped by time, seasons and human traces. The session will focus primarily on a reading of the poems, with reflections on haiku as a practice of connection with the more-than-human world.
This event is part of the Newport Festival of Words (20th - 22nd March 2026) and is free of charge with support through a SPF grant, funded by the UK Government. Any additional donations received help to ensure that the Newport Festival of Words returns in 2027. Please reserve your tickets using the Eventbrite booking link.
