The Renga Blog

I know I’m a bit late posting this–I’ve been a bit busy lately–but I thought it was worth continuing the habit of discussing the renga after it was finished. I don’t actually have a lot to say about this one. I think we all (yes, all three of us) had the same take on what it was we were talking about, so we all brought our own perspectives and angles to a remarkably unified renga. And it seems we were all quite pleased with the result.
As far as renga technique goes, we still don’t necessarily have the same kind of break between each verse and the one two verses ago that you find in a traditional renga, but I’m inclined to say that’s just our style. We’re definitely keeping it flowing and not letting it stagnate in one spot. So, I really don’t have a specific suggestions for next time–just that we should keep practicing and see if we can keep getting better.
Anyone else have any input? Anything you particularly liked about this renga? Any weak spots? (Even if you didn’t help write the renga, I’d be interested in your opinion as a reader.)
