His poems display a unique blend of the literary and the down-to-earth, of the modern and the traditional, of the serious and the humorous, of the local and the universal. In his own words, 'I want my poems about things to be a dialogue with the world, to learn and be inspired by the shapes, smells and colours of things....' This collection has been carefully curated, and is arranged under ten thematic sections: Lotus Leaves, Hong Kong, Macao, Foodscape, After the Book of Songs, Strange Tales: After Pu Songling, Clothink, Museum Pieces, Places and Friends, and Bitter-Melon and Others. These translated poems, and the delight they bring, are a celebration of the continuing legacy of a remarkable Hong Kong poet.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Leung Ping Kwan (1949-2013) was one of Hong Kong's most celebrated literary figures and a highly versatile writer. Writing mainly in the Chinese language under the pen name Yasee, his poetry and prose have been widely translated into English, French, Korean, Japanese, Arabic, Portuguese, and German. <p/>John Minford is Emeritus Professor of Chinese at The Australian National University and Sin Wai Kin Professor of Chinese Culture and Translation at the Hang Seng University of Hong Kong.
