Interested in
- a trip to China?
- the emerging importance of China on the world
scene?
This book of haiku poems will give you a quick
feel for people, places, customs, nature and travel
in China through the eyes of a first-time visitor.
A timely introduction to a vast, improbable and
distant land.
China is a place of mystery and myth, ancient traditions
and inventions and modern habits and innovations.
Global interest in the “Middle Kingdom”
is probably at an all-time high. Since the 2008
Olympic Games, the country and its peoples have
been on display to a wide audience through the mass
media.
For the visitor, digital cameras provide a modern
means of viewing and remembering China. This book
explores another way — word pictures in the
form of haiku — brief poems in a 17-syllable
format. Haiku can be composed and understood by
anyone. They are an easy way to make pictures in
the dark and smog, and seem to speak to many cultures
in our age.
