Studium Generale: Writing and grief. Breakfast and haiku

When words are no longer enough, poetry can take over. In this session, writer Niklas Åkesson will guide you in exploring the haiku form, where a couple of lines can tell you everything.

Had I not known
that I was dead
already
I would have mourned
my loss of life 

Ōta Dōkan (1432-1486)
