naviarhaiku186 – Looping around town

Looping around town

like an unfurled gey ribbon

trucks on the highway

haiku 186 - croped

I’m very excited to start this new collaboration with Western Riverina Arts and curator (and regular participant in the Haiku challenge) Jason Richardson. In the following weeks, Naviar will share haiku written by Australian writers who will present the Riverina town and its beautiful surrounding region with poetry.

We start this collaboration with a poem by Dr Greg Pritchard, a multi and interdisciplinary artist who is also an experienced teacher and artistic director.
