Yam Gong is a leading Hong Kong poet who has worked as a laborer
since adolescence and produced many of his poems during his work
breaks. An outsider poet, he explores the synthesis of everyday
life and philosophical inquiry. Using shifting tonal registers, he
refashions borrowed language, including English song lyrics,
Cantonese wordplay, Chinese folk stories and poems, news reports,
prayers, and slang. This bilingual volume is the first
book-length collection of Yam Gong’s poems in English,
drawing from his most important work over the past forty
years. Moving a Stone: Selected Poems of Yam Gong is the
fourth title in Zephyr’s Hong Kong Atlas series, the only series
in the world to showcase Hong Kong poetry in English.
