Yellow Plum Season

by Pui Ying Wong

Overview

YELLOW PLUM SEASON, Pui Ying Wong's first full-length collection of poetry, is visually lush and reflective; and characterized by intimate descriptions of place, memory and dream. In YELLOW PLUM SEASON, she speaks as a traveler from lands known and unknown yet creates a terrain all her own. She writes with delicacy and precision, small but complex narratives that cover a range of emotional landscapes. These are poems both personal and universal; poems that engage the reader in the human experiences of loss but also love, heartache but also moments of joy; and ultimately connects the reader to the desire for every aspect of life.
