Virtual Tree Walk – Haiku Walk from Joy Kogawa House

Winnipeg poet Sally Ito would have led this walk as part of her author residency at Historic Joy Kogawa House. Unable to travel west due to current restrictions, Sally instead wrote haiku to accompany locations on a self-guided walk of the Marpole neighbourhood that begins and ends at the heritage house. There are now haiku for the full set of stops, one for each day of self-quarantine. Here is a map of the whole route.
