Cities of Sameness
By Nicholas YB Wong

Cities of Sameness is Nicholas YB Wong’s first candid attempt at merging an Asian voice with American poetics. Poems in the book defy the heterosexual ideal of loves and desires and explore current issues in China and Hong Kong. The book seeks to destabilize social and literary landscape believed to have been settled.

Cities of Sameness has been named one of Amazon editors’ picks for “Best Books of 2014”.
Afterness

Afterness
Literature from the New Transnational Asia

Edited by Rebekah Chan, Gregg Schroeder, Jenn Chan Lyman, Quenntis Ashby, Amanda Webster

Poetry and fiction, memoir and lyrical essay: Afterness showcases the perspectives of 65 writers whose lives are based in or touch upon Asia; all are graduates of the City University of Hong Kong Master of Fine Arts programme, started by author Xu Xi in 2010 and closed by the university after five years to the highly-publicized dismay of the international literary community. The anthology is a university-funded legacy project for the programme unveiled at the Hong Kong International Literary Festival.
