Book Description

Winner of the 2010 HKU Poetry Prize "'Then all things began twice.' The poems inPaper Scissors Stoneare moved by the forces of repetition and release, and are haunted by crossings (of borders, of people, of languages and their written characters). With wit and sorrow, precision and tact, the poems study the essential qualities of places, persons, and their arrangements, asking us what it is to begin twice. The book is a formally beautiful and complete meditation on transformation." -Saskia Hamilton "These extraordinary poems, so assured in their directions, so startling in their clarities, have an eerily dreamlike wakefulness. Fan's enigmatic lucidity is born of a confluence of traditions, both real and imagined. This is not simply a remarkable debut, but a brilliantly accomplished book." -Adam Phillips Born and educated in Hong Kong,Kit Fannow lives in the UK. His poems have been widely published in literary magazines. This award-winning first book of poems establishes him as one of the most promising new writers on the Hong Kong literary scene.

Book Description

"Early one spring morning, a little seed woke up after her long winter sleep. She yawned and stretched. With a loud CRACK her hard brown jacket fell away. 'Oh!' said the surprised seed. The earth above felt warm." ... this was just the beginning of big changes to come. The colorful illustrations in this book are made by the author from dyed wool fibers, felted together to create a solid piece of "fabric." She employed a technique known as "dry," or "needle," felting, which requires a small hand tool called a felting needle with barbs along the shaft to catch the fibers as it pierces the surface of the wool and binds them together. Jan describes the experience as "painting with a needle." (Ages 3-5).
