Covering the Middle East

A Haiku Set for Edward Said, author of Covering Islam: How the Media and the Experts Determine How We See the Rest of the World

the flurry of white
between minarets
a scream cut short

If it bleeds, it leads
scrawled on a reporter's note
pinpoint bombings

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.
