English Language Haiku Master John Stevenson ✍️ (Interview) [983]

Über diese Folge

<p>Practise your listening in English with a fascinating conversation with a writer of haiku poetry in English. John Stevenson is one of the world's leading English language haiku poets, and in this episode I had the pleasure of talking to him for an hour. John taught me more about haiku and senryu poetry, revealed how he first became interested in haiku, and then was willing to discuss various haiku poems he has written over the years, giving details of what real events inspired them, what they mean and more about his process of writing haiku in English. I hope this episode is fascinating and inspiring. Keep listening because it becomes more and more revealing as it continues. John was a pleasure to talk to and I think this is the perfect conclusion to the trilogy of episodes I have done on this subject on the podcast recently. </p><p>Get the PDF transcript 👉 <a href="https://teacherluke.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/English-Language-Haiku-Master-John-Stevenson-Interview-983-Episode-Transcript.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://teacherluke.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/English-Language-Haiku-Master-John-Stevenson-Interview-983-Episode-Transcript.pdf</a></p><p>Episode page 👉 <a href="https://teacherluke.co.uk/2026/04/06/english-language-haiku-master-john-stevenson-interview-983/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://teacherluke.co.uk/2026/04/06/english-language-haiku-master-john-stevenson-interview-983/</a></p><p>Sign up to LEP Premium 👉 <a href="https://www.teacherluke.co.uk/premium" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.teacherluke.co.uk/premium</a></p><p>"My Red" by John Stevenson available from Brooks Books 👉 <a href="https://www.brooksbookshaiku.com/Stevenson-MyRed.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.brooksbookshaiku.com/Stevenson-MyRed.html</a></p><p>The Heron's Nest haiku website 👉 <a href="https://www.theheronsnest.com/March2026/index.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.theheronsnest.com/March2026/index.html</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
