Perhaps Hong Kong is a city of cinema. From the neo-noir neon stylings of Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, to the stylised longing of early Wong Kar Wai… 

 And perhaps Singapore is a city of form. Structure drives everything in this rigidly planned city-state… 

Combine the two, and what do you get?—The twin cinema. 

The twin cinema, created by Singapore poet Yeow Kai Chai, is a rigid, yet spectacular poetic form that mixes constraint with possibility. Its twin columns can be read vertically down as discrete poems, yet you can also hop across the space between skyscrapers and find meaning that bridges the gap horizontally for each line. The twin cinema can be used to contrast two opposed points of view, or find a common bridge stretching across a seemingly insurmountable gap – the art of juxtaposition, after all, is at the heart of modern cinema. 

In this anthology, poets from the twin cities of Singapore and Hong Kong tackle the challenge of the twin cinema form in tandem with their own interpretation of lines that bind or divide us. We share a familiar postcolonial history, rich financial centres and trading ports bustling with energy, in the shadow of a hinterland yawning across the water. Yet we also rival each other ceaselessly, and are cleaved by language, geography, and politics. This is fertile ground for a poetry of proposition or opposition – and may it grow cities.

電子書很方便，下載了可以讀，可以帶出街，帶電子書出遊非常方便，為什麼還要出實體書？是次詩會邀請了三位詩人Florence Ng、萍凡人和劉偉成，他們在香港堅持寫詩，也堅持出版實體的詩集，寫詩是一種冷門的興趣，出版詩集更是吃力不討好的事，為什麼他們仍然花時間和心力去做呢？他們的心路歷程是怎樣的？他們最新的詩集均有藍色封面，是巧合還是一種偏愛？

I find joy in arranging objects. 

 ― Claire Lee 

The symbolic or real pilgrimages can take many forms, from the little things we do every day in our homes to bigger things we set out to achieve. Even ordinary objects like dishcloths, mirrors, and chairs can be materials for re-creation by Claire. She manifests her emotional journey through recreating objects, changing them and then writing about them in the form of poetry and prose. On The Verge is the latest poetry collection published by Claire. This collection spans across six years, which shows you Claire’s imaginative visions of ordinary moments with objects. It also shows you the shared experiences of loss and loneliness that people go through during personal and global conflicts. These poems and prose takes you on a spiritual journeys. Through them, Claire expresses a deeper, more expansive understanding of the complexities of life. 

Claire Lee, a visual artist from Hong Kong. Her work explores the complex relationship between vulnerability and fortitude, examining both physical and emotional aspects of the human experience. Lee’s creative process involves experimenting ink and paint with tactile materials and treatments, resulting in works that span from paintings and drawings to objects, poetry, and photography. Her poetry has been published in various anthologies, including Not a Muse by Haven Books and Voice & Verse Poetry Magazine, and has been featured in the Asia Art Archive, Cha: An Asian Literary Journal and other platforms.
