When the reality that we see is not real? What actually happened? Serina is a Hong Kong university fresh graduate who witnesses shocking atrocities in Egypt and then in Hong Kong. As the events unfolded, she later found out something went wrong in her mind. She has mental issues. She discovers that most of what she has experienced in life are delusions. One shock after another deteriorates her mental health until she is no more able to discern reality from delusion. Eventually, she realizes that among all her delusions, the atrocities she has witnessed are the only reality that cannot be denied or dismissed as hallucinations. Should she continue her medication as prescribed? Or can she live a normal life without dependent on medication? 

 

Dr Sayed Gouda was born in Cairo and moved to Hong Kong in 1992 where he currently resides. He did his undergraduate studies in Egypt and China, majoring in Chinese, and received his PhD in comparative literary studies from the City University of Hong Kong in 2014. His research interests include comparative literature, comparative cultural studies, and translation studies. Gouda is a published poet, novelist, and translator. He is the Editor-in-Chief of a multi-lingual e-magazine called Nadwah for poetry in translation (www.arabicnadwah.com). From 2004 to 2010, he organised a monthly literary salon in Hong Kong.

How do we situate ourselves when we navigate the city of Hong Kong—physically, and in our minds? Against a backdrop of bustling density and movement, the difficulties of making space have shaped our days. From the challenges of limited living space and the quest for personal space, to the everyday negotiations of our identities in the social space, we are constantly confronted with the question: How do we redefine the distance between the city, others, and ourselves, and between the selves within us? 

 

This collection seeks previously unpublished writing in English, photography and visual art—by writers and artists in or from Hong Kong, as well as those who have had a close connection with the city—that explores the (im)possibility of making space. How do we remake space in our lives and our creative practices? What does this (im)possibility mean in (or in relation to) Hong Kong today?

 

Making Space: A Collection of Writing and Art is slated for summer 2022. The deadline for submissions is extended to 17 July 2022 (Sunday).  Please send your work or questions to Nicolette Wong at cartnoodlespress@gmail.com

  

Submission guidelines:

Prose: Please send one short story or personal essay of up to 5,000 words.

Poetry: Please send 3-5 poems, with a maximum of 10 pages.

Translation: The above guidelines for prose and poetry should be followed, and a copy of the translated text should be submitted along with the translation. The translator is responsible for acquiring permission to publish.

Kubrick Poetry • December • The Harmonious Six

時間 Time：2021/12/27 (Monday) 3-4pm

地點 Venue：Yrellag  Gallery (G/F, 13A Prince's Terrace, Mid-Levels Central Hong Kong, Hong Kong)

主持 Moderator: Polly Ho 

詩人 Poet: Liam Blackford

語言Language: English

 

 

When we write, often we choose to write in a form that we can freely express ourselves. Liam Blackford has another way of seeing it. He chooses a way that he feels the most harmonious. He finds symmetry and beauty in the form of six, writing poems with six stanzas, six lines per stanza and six syllables per line. He gathers inspirations from daily observation and readings. With imagination, he opens a gateway for you to see another world. Come and join us in his first poetry collection, A Gateway Has Opened. You will have a chance to practice writing in this new form of poetry. 

 

Liam Blackford is a West Australian poet living and working in Hong Kong. He is of millennial age. He was born and grew up in suburban Perth. He has previously lived and worked in Perth and Shanghai. He writes poetry in English and Chinese. He holds a degree in law and philosophy. His poems are written in a fixed form and meter and are concerned with themes of truth and reality, complexity and change, anxiety and rage, and power and control. His poetry collection A Gateway Has Opened was published in 2021 by Proverse Hong Kong with the support of the Hong Kong Arts Development Council.
