Beskrivning
Light Year by Jennifer Wong is a meditation on time. These poems delve into the mind of a poet crossing spaces of deep wounds, love and healing: a constellation of friendships and love as she moves through upheaval, transformation and change.The collection offers glimpses into the journeys of a migrant, a daughter, and a mother; with the passage of years, the poems ask what it might mean to move like light itself, beyond expectations and into new ways of understanding ourselves more profoundly. With sublime precision, Jennifer Wong’s poetry brings clarity to the spaces between the stars – the time difference between memories and place, between our loved ones, and everything we hold dear in life.A Poetry Book Society Recommendation

Recensioner i media

‘Jennifer Wong’s dazzling collection maps a constellation of memory and generational inheritance with language that is both spare and luminous. From star factories to Golden Bauhinia Square, these poems assemble the fractured histories of Hong Kong and China while untying deeper knots of collective trauma. Crossing thresholds between the past and the imagined, Light Year reveals the fragility of what we inherit and the resilience found in re-telling it. History repeats, refracts, and reshapes itself—yet in Wong’s hands, it becomes radiant.’
