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.
