About this episode
The episode explores the art of haiku and its connection to gardening, featuring insights from former Poet Laureate Aileen Cassinetto and Haiku Contest winner Cindy Lutz.
A restless wind moves through the oaks as we explore the art of haiku and its kinship with the garden. Aileen Cassinetto, the former Poet Laureate of San Mateo County, notes that both crafts demand the same thing: patience, precision, and a willingness to notice what others walk past. This year’s Haiku Contest winner Cindy Lutz shares how writing one poem a day for 25 years has taught her to find the miraculous in the overlooked.
