Description
This selection of poems reflects the variety and quality of the poetry that has emerged in Hong Kong in recent years. The poets all write in modern free verse, but retain links with the traditional Chinese poetic form. Their subjects include Hong Kong's return to China in 1997, the Tiananmen Square incident, and the longing of the immigrant for his homeland, as well as universal themes such as life and death, and the passage of time.
