Goldfish

by Jennifer Wong

From childhood memories, fairytales, taboos, deep-rooted faiths to translated truths, Jennifer Wong's dream-like and surreal second collection reveals the changing landscapes of Hong Kong and modern China. "This collection establishes Jennifer Wong as Hong Kong's finest English language poet of the younger generation without a shadow of doubt." -- Mike Ingham "... handled with great sharpness and delicacy." -- George Szirtes
