Abstract
Born in central Taiwan, Ka-hsiang Liu (Pinyin: Kexiang Liu, 1957- ) is an amateur naturalist and orithnographer and one of the most famous and prolific nature writers in Taiwan, though his works have not been widely known to the West. He has published more than thirty books and anthologies in the genres of poetry, prose, novels, nature history, travelogue, picture books, and has won many literary prizes. Several of his poems and prose pieces have been translated into English by Nick Kaldis and are available online. His book, Hill of the Stray Dogs (Pinyin: Yegou zhi qiu), an “animal ethnography” in the form of diary recording the lives of a group of stray dogs in Taipei, is currently being translated into English and German. The title of this poem refers to a recent event concerning Kuokuang Petrochemical Technology's plans to build a naphtha cracker plant on 4,000 hectares of unpolluted wetland in central coastal Taiwan.
