Covering The Middle East Poem by Chen-ou Liu

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
