Renshi

Renshi (連詩, renshi, "linked poetry") is a form of collaborative poetry pioneered by Makoto Ōoka in the 1980s.[1][2] It is a development of traditional Japanese renga and renku, but unlike these it does not adhere to traditional strictures on length, rhythm, and diction. Renshi are typically composed by a group of Japanese and foreign poets collaborating in the writing process in sessions lasting several days.[1] In addition to Ooka, poets who have participated in renshi include James Lasdun, Charles Tomlinson, Hiromi Itō, Shuntarō Tanikawa, Jerome Rothenberg, Joseph Stanton, Wing Tek Lum, Karin Kiwus and Mikirō Sasaki.[1][2]

gollark: At my school they're vaguely worried about maybe having to close it, which means there are now vague plans to send people work online, without much actual detail.
gollark: I did find this though: http://www.andrewlipson.com/lstest.html
gollark: Hmm, apparently I do *not* have it bookmarked, sadly.
gollark: It's part of some test to check if you can avoid saying the obvious but wrong answer and come up with the correct but less intuitive one.
