poetrypea.com presents haiku with a vulgar theme. The presentation is by Keith Evetts who is the current editor of Re:Virals at the Haiku Foundation. The aim is to show how vulgarity has been a theme of haiku through the ages, but has the way we have expressed this vulgarity changed? We'll talk about how far you can go before you cross over into offensive or disgusting, we'll even have a disagreement. Can you spot it? Hope you enjoy it, but take care the language is a little more salty than you are used to at Poetry Pea.
