Making Space is launched!

We had the book launch of Making Space, published by Cart Noodles Press, at Kubrick Bookstore on 23^rd April, 2023. The event was packed with audience. Nicolette Wong, who is the curator and editor of the book, started the event. We had a stellar line of contributors who read from the book. They were Paola Caronni, Jennifer Eagleton, Lee Chi Leung（李智良）, Sonia FL Leung, Jocelyn Li and Marco Yan. After the reading, we shared our view on the perception of space and how possible or impossible to create space for writing in Hong Kong. The audience threw questions on our contributors. One of the questions is from Chris Song, who is the chief editor of Voice and Verse Magazine. He asked if the poem Lo Ting Visits Oscar by the Sea had something to do with Lo Ting came to visit its creator Oscar. Jocelyn was stunned to learn Lo Ting’s creator is also named Oscar. Polly Ho asked the book designer, Zac Choy, about his design concept on the book. He expressed those were the sentence strip that writers write on paper. He chooses the skin colour for the book cover to have a close touch on human. Some people interpreted the book cover as having censorship or it can be read as an erasure poetry. Many of us applauded at this beautiful book design and its meaning depends on the readers’ interpretation. 
 
The book, Making Space, come into life as a book project first and foremost initiated by Nicolette Wong from the English Department in CUHK. They would like to expand readership to the local community and seek collaboration with Kubrick Poetry Society which has 17 years promoting poetry reading and writing. KPS can be a window to reach the local readers. Our gratitude to Nicolette Wong for inviting us and who did all the editing work. We feel lucky to have Zac Choy as our book designer and special thanks for Eddie Tay for supporting the book project.

Kubrick Poetry Society invites you to the launch of Making Space: A Collection of Writing and Art, edited by Nicolette Wong with support from KPS and published by Cart Noodles Press (CUHK). The event will feature readings by contributors and a discussion about the book. This event is free and open to the public. 

Making Space: A Collection of Writing and Art features prose, poetry and artwork that explore how we make space in our lives in Hong Kong. How do we redefine the distance between the city, others, and ourselves? How does the quest for personal space and/or identities manifest in our creative practices? 

Making Space is here!

Our first book project initiated by the English department from CUHK, edited by Nicolette Wong, is here. The contributors of the book explore the space between people, space in our memory lane, space in buildings, the tangible and intangible space.  You can read the prefaces and excerpts or order a copy here: https://cup.cuhk.edu.hk/MakingSpace 

 

We are grateful for all the contributors who have submitted work to us. Our special thanks goes to Nicolette Wong who oversaw the whole book-making process, to Eddie Tay who supports this project from beginning to end. Lastly, we are lucky to have Zac Choy to design the book for us! What a beautiful and modern book cover!  

If you would like to write a review for Making Space, you can contact Polly Ho(kubrickpoems@gmail.com) or Nicolette Wong(nicolettewong@cuhk.edu.hk) for a review copy. 

Kubrick Poetry • March • Promised Lands

 

時間 Time：17/3/2023 (Friday) 7-8pm

地點 Venue：Yaumatei Kubrick Ministore (G/F)

主持 Moderator: Polly Ho 

詩人 Poet：Gili Haimovich 

語言Language：English

The desert is wide, wild, wasted, Moses,
a landscape so widely open that its inaccessible,
no nooks for havens of rest
for hiding,
for intimacy.

-       The Promised Wasteland 

When we meet in a foreign city, we feel destined to meet one another. When we use the language of that city, we are speaking of a foreign language. All these experiences in a new city using a new language will definitely bring cultural shock. Gili Haimovich has moved home from Canada back to Israel, and travels frequently for poetry festivals. She has penned down the experience into poetry, Promised Lands, which documents her poetry in Hebrew and English, and between cultural crosscurrents. The “lands” of the title do not simply refer to physical barriers between cultures but spheres of the soul guided by language and culture.

 

“There is her origin and cultural/spiritual heritage, her place and everyday life, her travels to distant lands and rich geography, her travels to her inner world and all that is so craftily and beautifully intertwined like peptides on the human DNA.” This statement, taken from a review at fekt.org, reflects not only upon the book itself but upon the global human heritage. 

Gili Haimovich is a prizewinning bilingual Israeli poet with a Canadian background. She is the author of ten poetry books, four in English and six in Hebrew as well as a multilingual book of her poem ‘Note’. She was awarded prizes for best foreign poet at the international Italian poetry competitions I colori dell'anima (2020) and Ossi di Seppia (2019), a grant for excellency by the Ministry of Culture of Israel (2015), a third-prize winner of Proverse Poetry Competition (2016), a fellowship residency at the International Writers’ Workshop Hong Kong (2021) and more. Her poems are translated into 33 languages and featured worldwide in numerous anthologies and journals.
