Lotus Leaves: Selected Poems of Leung Ping Kwan

4/5 ( ratings)

Leung Ping Kwan is one of Hong Kong's most acclaimed poets. 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.
