詩人 Poet：王詠思(Jennifer Wong)
Through observation and
fine details, Jennifer Wong explores and exposes the wonders
of everyday life. From childhood memories, fairy tales, deep-rooted faiths to
translated truths, Jennifer Wong’s dream-like and surreal collection reveals
the changing landscapes of Hong Kong: from voodoo doll practices, fengshui
beliefs, the popular dishes in Chinese
cuisine, classical poems remembered and lost in translation, to the
breathtaking scenes of skyscraper swords.
“This collection establishes Jennifer Wong as
Hong Kong’s finest English language poet of the younger generation without a
shadow of doubt. “– Mike Ingham
Jennifer Wong was born and raised in Hong Kong. She is the
author of two poetry collections, including Goldfish (Chameleon Press 2013) and Summer Cicadas (2006). Her poems have appeared in various journals worldwide. She was the writer-in-residence
at Lingnan University in 2012. She studied English at Oxford and completed an
MA in creative writing at the University of East Anglia. She is currently
working on a PhD in poetry and poetics at Oxford Brookes University, with a
focus on the idea of homeland and ethnic identity in contemporary Chinese
American poetry.
