Chen-ou Liu on International Haiku Poetry Day

 

 

 

end-of-day catch
our wicker basket full
of salmon sunset

from another

 

 

Chen-ou Liu is the author of two award-winning books,  Following the Moon to the Maple Land  and A Life in Transition and Translation. His tanka and haiku have been honored with many awards.
