Now when we look up – Mortality remembered – We see each other
September 10th, 2011: Gotham City-
Chicago, land of clean lines, Lakeshore views, and good Midwestern spirits was rather reluctant to open its public spaces to works of poetry.
Perhaps the chalking was not celebrated by security folks and other uniformed officials, but the Movement continued nonetheless, hiding out on neighborhood street corners, college campuses, and rooftops. On Day Two, we were inspired by the wild and wonderful Renegade Craft Fair in Wicker Park. Chicago could not help but inspire us on this tenth anniversary of 9/11, and we celebrate it’s beauty in the following photos. Thanks to Marwan Fateen, Amy Liss, Andrew Caravella, Suzy Blas, Bill Oakley, Mark Seiler, Keith Tromiczak, Grady Linnihan, the DePaul kids (William, Peter and Shannon) and all others that (inadvertantly or no) played with us.

The Haiku Mistress
Actor and educator, Caley Vickerman, discovered haiku in 6th grade and they remain to this day a favorite method of expression; simple, precise and immeasurably powerful. It became her fervent wish to create events that celebrated haiku (and humanity). Thus the Guerilla Haiku Movement was born! …And the Haiku Mistress gratefully continues to celebrate! 
We are the Guerilla Haiku Movement; a cadre of artists, fun-lovers, and fools that use sidewalk chalk and the ancient Japanese poetic tradition of Haiku to tell our stories and the stories of our communities inside of one moment. Check out our events page to join us in a city near you!
