Publisher's Synopsis
Jennifer Wong, born and brought up in Hong Kong with an Oxford education in English Literature, has been published in various poetry journals locally and overseas. Summer Cicadas, her debut collection straddling Hong Kong and Oxford, is a refreshing, poetic journey of homelands, cultural upbringing, and personal identity. It is a moving account articulating the powers and transitions of youth and love. "Summer Cicadas is an extraordinary poetic reflection on place and displacement, on memory's gains and its losses, that marks the emergence of a striking new voice in English poetry." -- Dr Jon Mee, Margaret Candfield Fellow in English, University College, Oxford
