About the Book

Arguably the most well-known and highly awarded of Hong Kong authors over the last thirty years, Leung Ping-kwan has published fifteen volumes of poetry. Leung also writes fiction and has published a novel and four collections of stories. He currently teaches literature and film studies at Lingnan University, frequently collaborates with visual and performing artists, and has held several poetry and photography exhibitions that feature his own work.

Leung is the consummate tour guide, able to direct readers from kitchen tables through urban and interior landscapes that are mottled with Cantonese, Mandarin, numerous Englishes, and a cascade of other cultures. This ability to create in a hybrid space without sounding forced or inauthentic has evolved throughout his writing career that began in the late 1960s, through PhD work in comparative literature at the University of California, San Diego, in the 1980s, and then back to Hong Kong for a long career of intertwining writing and teaching at several universities.

The poetry book is complemented by conceptual images by artist Gukzik Lau.


About the Author: Leung Ping-kwan has published fifteen volumes of poetry, including the bilingual editions City at the End of Time, Foodscape, Clothink, Travelling with a Bitter Melon, and amblings.

He currently teaches literature and film studies at Lingnan University and has published critical works such as Books and Cities, Hong Kong Culture, and Hong Kong Literature and Cinema. He frequently collaborates with visual and performing artists, and has held several poetry and photography exhibitions that feature his own work, including "Food and the City" at the Foreign Correspondents' Club in Hong Kong, "East West Matters" at the Museum for Applied Art at Frankfurt, and at "Raum" Studio, Bern. Leung was recently awarded The Hong Kong Biennial Award for fiction and poetry.
