Acknowledgements

 

I would like to thank the twelve writers and artists: Dr. Chan Chi Tak, Dr. Leung Wing Tai, Miss Virginia Ng Suk-Yin, Miss Tang Siu Wa, Dr. Jason Ng, Dr. Tammy Ho Lai-Ming, Miss Lo Mei Wa (Wawa), Mr. Nicholas Wong, Miss Lam Sam-Wai, Miss Sonia Cheng, and Miss Prudence Ho, who have been so kind to participate in my project and have been so patient with me during the process.

 

A very special gratitude goes out to my wonderful mentors at the IWP, Donna Brooks and Natasa Durovicova, for encouraging and guiding me along every step of putting together this anthology. This project wouldn’t be possible without your patience and advice.

 

I would like to thank Professor Linda Bolton for her kind counsel in my writing of the foreword. I am also grateful to Mary Ma and Claire Jacobson for going through the labor of translation with me, as well as Dr. David Ng for allowing me to use his beautiful photographs for the site.

 

Last but not least, I must thank my mother for her unending support and encouragement both in my life and in my pursuit of language and the arts, and for all her wisdom that I hope to inherit one day and pass on to the page.
