Georgian Haiku Poet: What's behind the scenes

[AlanSummers]

I'm one of those poets (and as a haiku poet) who often gets filmed, or regularly does performances, not just a reading.   I see haiku as transmedia which I promoted when I ran Naked Haijin Productions back in the early 2000s before I founded With Words.

I just thought I'd share this image of what's behind the scenes:

The live reading, streamed to America and Europe:

So when you see my presentation of Amazement of the Ordinary: Life through a haiku lens, there's a lot more going on then some of you would guess:

I'm a communicator because haiku poetry opens up vistas for people for all different reasons, be it self-belief, literacy, or enjoying a fine literature that can enrapture you, and continue to be a healthy challenge, for the rest of a person's life.

The images from Reuters have now passed, as they are a busy organisation.

Here's a few fun cached images from the day to enjoy:
