I visited the second floor at Jazz Lab to play with words with wordsmith Trevien Stanger. He's encouraging people to make haiku about something they see when peering through cardboard shipping tubes he has set out. "The tradition of haiku is written and read through a careful attention to the interplay of word, object and imagination," says Trevien. "The tube is an insturment of poetic perspective, which focuses on a single image. To patiently read haiku, is to appreciate the delicacy and expansiveness of all music and poetry."
I pointed mine through one of the windows looking out over City Hall Park, and focused on this...
