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.
Leung Ping? kwan (1949-2013) was born in Guangdong but grew up in Hong Kong. He 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.

In 2010, he was honoured by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council as the Best Artist of the Year (Literary Arts). His poetry and prose have been widely translated into English, French, Korean, Japanese, Arabic, Portuguese, and German.
