Leung Ping-kwan, better known under his pen name Ye Si (也斯), is the author of Foodscape (1997), Clothink (1998), Travelling with a Bitter Me lon (2002), Islands and Continents (2006), Shifting Borders (2009), Hong Kong Culture (1995), and Hong Kong Literature and Cinema (2011). He is Director of the Centre for Humanities Research and Chair Professor of Comparative Literature at Lingnan University.
Gordon Osing is retired from the writing program at the University of Memphis and lives now lakeside in Delta bluffs woods in Eudora, Mississippi, where he is continuing his career in reading and writing and traveling. The River City Writers Series, that he began some thirty-five years ago at the University of Memphis, is still thriving. He sees himself in a continuation of the works of the Southern Modernists, holding language in poetry as re-contextualized, and the poem as artifact with its own protocols and reasons, the ways and means of a poem’s attachments to “truth” belonging peculiarly to poetry.

Written by Leung Ping-kwan (梁秉鈞) in the 1980s and 1990s, this volume of poetry evokes the complexity of Hong Kong city life in the critical m oments preceding the 1997 handover. The poet muses upon the problems of cultural identity and the passing of time, and explores the relationship between poetry and other genres and media within a cross-cultural and cross-border context.
An introduction by Ackbar Abbas in the original edition relates Leung's writing to the cultural and political space of Hong Kong in the 1990s. This expanded bilingual version adds a new essay by Esther Cheung, and also a recent conversation between Leung and three critics, which provides insights on how Leung's poetry still resonates powerfully after two decades. The book invites readers to look afresh at Leung's meditative poetry and probe into the contradictory realities of this changing postcolonial city.
从水里打捞起来的层层片片的符号,才是一个破碎的、不彻底的香港。

评分从图书馆拿到这本再版的《形象香港》我震惊了,封面上不见了译者Gordon Osing的名字,取而代之的是"edited and introduced by Esther M.K. Cheung",仅凭一篇打着“增补版”旗号塞进去的序言和对谈就堂而皇之地寄生于诗人和译者的劳动成果之下,实在缺乏一位学者应有的素养,更为奇葩的是,出版社居然不通知译者就再版了,操守呢?
