Join a breathtaking array of Hong Kong poets as they break the language barrier to read from their latest collections – in a display of how poetry builds bridges through a shared understanding of humanity and the world and a shared love for the wonderfully complicated city we all call home. A rare opportunity to hear from Paola Caronni, Yam Gong (with translator James Shea), Daniel Hamilton, Jason Lee, Florence Ng, and Jennifer Wong.
Moderated by Louise Law.
