Poetry. Non-fiction. SHARED WRITING: RENGA DAYS is an anthology of essays and poetry of participants in renga, the 1000 year old Japanese art form of shared writing, and a companion to Verse Chain: Sharing Renga and Haiku. Illustrating the mushrooming of the renga platform project through residencies and tours around the British Isles, SHARED WRITING offers one hundred verse hyakuin renga and photographs of renga days. The intention of this work is to inspire your own linked-verse poems. "It is generous and inclusive . . . In that circumstance of shared place and time it does seem to be a sharing of pains and joys and as such maybe, or certainly, ceremonially" Angus Reid. Alec Finlay, a renga master who conceived the wooden platform where participants commune for renga days, authored this book.
