Poetry Recitals: Humanity vs Virus

圖片
Date: 2nd January 2021 (S aturday ) Time:  2:00 p.m.-3:30 p.m. Venue: Activity Room 1, G/F,  Hong Kong Central Library Guests: Prof. Birgit BUNZEL LINDER, Dr. Jason Eng Hun Lee, Dr.  Elbert Siu Ping LEE Moderator: Ms. Polly Ho Sai-fung Live broadcast: https://www.hkpl.gov.hk/en/extension-activities/hklf/hklf13/event-detail/173325 To live harmoniously with nature is one of the most important principles for the survival of our world. The present outbreak of the Coronvid-19 is a dark reminder of having lost this harmony. This  pneumonia-like illness evokes deep-seated fears in us: we fear what we don’t know; our anxiety grows when even the experts feel helpless; and we feel even more frightened when everyone around us is equally afraid.

時間 Time ： 2019/12/22 (Sunday) 4:00pm-5:00pm 地點 Venue ：油麻地 Kubrick 電影中心一樓講廳 主持 Moderator: Polly Ho  詩人 Poet ： Florence Ng  吳 智欣 語言 Language ：廣東話及英文 (Cantonese and English when necessary) 在香港長大的你，大概已經習慣了混雜的語境，有人說是不中不英，有人會說是中英並重，又或是港式什麼的。你平日會用什麼語言寫Whatsapp或面書？如果有天你要寫詩或做創意寫作呢，你會用什麼語言？為什麼？香港有人以英語寫詩，這兩三年間我也這樣做，詩集的中文版都是應出版社要求後補的。礙於天資，無論是用英文原創還是中文補作，過程都是嘔心瀝血。誠邀你前來討論，並一同發掘自己獨特的語言來創作。 吳 智欣生於香港。她與朋友成立 Kubrick Poetry  詩會，也在他們的協助下做了個人手作詩集《鞋子集》。她曾獲青年文學獎並在不同媒介發表作品。 2019 年她的第一本英中詩集《維多利亞港的野豬》由 kubrick 出版。 I remember when I was studying French in France, whenever my classmates from mainland China or other Asian countries saw me using English to write emails or messages, they would look at me in disbelief and ask me questions.
