The Orange County Main Library will host a celebration of haiku on March 17 at 2 p.m.
Members of the North Carolina Haiku Society — which was founded in 1979 by Rebecca Ball Rust to promote the writing and appreciation of the haiku — and poets Robert Moyer and Dave Russo will introduce the history and art of the haiku.
They will also lead a workshop where participants will write a 17-syllable poem.
Teens and adults are invited to the event, which will be held at the library’s main location at 137 W. Margaret Lane in Hillsborough.
