Colin Will

Following on the popularity of a previous event, Huntly Writers are keen to welcome you to a renga workshop led by renga master Colin Will. Join us at the OAP Hall in Church St, Huntly, to discover more about this fascinating poetic experience.

Colin is a full-time writer and, when not leading workshops and writing groups, is website designer and webmaster for Poetry Scotland magazine and the StAnza poetry festival. He is experienced in writing Japanese forms — haiku, tanka, haibun and renga.

For the uninitiated, renga is an ancient Japanese poetic form that is unique in being written collectively, by a group. Each member of the group contributes verses and discusses the poem as it grows, link by link. No experience of writing in this form is necessary — the poem is itself an absorbing and enjoyable learning process for all participants, as Huntly Writers who attended the previous workshop can confirm.
