Eviction Tanka

gathering dark
after the eviction
a whitewashed room
and four nail holes
in the wall, in my heart

Chinese Translation

驅逐搬遷後
天色漸黑
粉刷乾淨的房間內
有四個釘孔
在牆上，在我心裡

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.
