About the Book City at the End of Time: Poems by Leung Ping-kwan<\/em> (Hong Kong University Press 2012), Edited and introduced by Esther M.K. Cheung:
\nThis book brings back into print 40 bilingual poems from one of Hong Kong\u2019s most beloved literary figures, together with critical introductions by Esther M.K. Cheung and Ackbar Abbas. Through poetry, Leung Ping-kwan, more often known as Ye Si, looks at the complex everyday life in the city, contemplates and reflects upon history, culture, identity, and the passing of time. The poet also goes beyond Hong Kong and explores the relationship between poetry and other media in a cross-border and cross-cultural context. Originally published in 1992, this expanded work includes a 2011 conversation with the poet and several local literary figures. Click here<\/a> for details.<\/p>\n
