The Years of Living Dangerously: A Haiku Sequence

spring 1975...
sleep in Saigon
but wake up in Houston

summer palace
of the Fertile Crescent --
Green Zone

autumn leaves
bounce and swirl in the air...
echoes of Miss Saigon

shooting stars
cross the Kabul sky --
the wolf moon

May/June 2010 issue of Sketchbook

Ripples from a Splash

My book is now available through www.lulu.com [Liu's] haiku resonates the Asian spirit, and makes use of aesthetics in a continuum of time that is permanent and impermanent; the process more important than the subjective specificity of object bias found in most Anglo-Western haiku like poems. His poetry demand to be interpreted by the informed reader. They do not tell all, are not based on an “aha” moment, and have no definitive ending. More importantly they give meaning and voice to the unsaid, the magic inherent in Japanese poetry. -- Poetry Review by Robert D. Wilson, Editor-in-chief of Simply Haiku.
