Heights Arts 2017 Haiku Death Match

Celebrate National Poetry Month and help choose the 2017 Haiku Death Match winner!

Heights Arts presents the Haiku Death Match on Saturday, April 8, 2017. Now an annual event, the Haiku Death match pits the region’s best and bravest writers of the meditative, 17-syllable form against each other in a contest for the title of Haiku Death Match Master. It’s poetry, theatre, talent show, and a jousting match rolled into one. The audience votes for the poems they like best, contestants are eliminated, and the last poet standing is the winner! This year, contestants will display their skill with classical, nature-oriented Haiku and with Haiku on contemporary subjects, such as politics, pets, and all things Cleveland.

The show begins at 7 p.m. at Dobama Theater, 2340 Lee Road, Cleveland Heights. Tickets can be purchased at the door, or on line at www.heightsarts.org.

Cost: $10 for Heights Arts members, $15 for non-members.

Proceeds support Heights Arts literary programming.
