pamphlet, Diary of a Miu Miu Salesgirl (Bitter Melon Poetry 2019)
online edition available from Bitter Melon Poetry
charts a girlhood spent growing up in a changing city among glittering ice lanterns and forgotten tenement buildings. These sharp, tender poems retrace their steps through the past and present in Hong Kong and London, contending with what it means to make a new home far away from home.
Goldfish (Chameleon Press 2013)
From childhood memories, fairytales, taboos, deep-rooted faiths to translated truths, Jennifer Wong’s dream-like and surreal collection reveals the changing landscapes of Hong Kong and modern China.

Thank you for coming to Island School and making us do fun activities like the second task on the would you believe it prompt.
So glad you have enjoyed the session! Keep writing and enjoy your learning journey 🙂
Dear Ms.Wong,
Thank you for coming to Island School and coming to talk to us. I found that your explanation and description of many of the things you talked about were very good. I learnt a lot today about what inspires your writing and helps you to write. I really liked what you told us about writing and how I loved the extracts from your book.

Island School Student.
And I am also very impressed by your imagination and books you have read. It’s my pleasure to visit your school. Wish you all the best in your studies!
Dear Ms. Wong,
I’ve just read your poem ‘A metallic bit in your tongue’ — which I loved — and was wondering what ‘Boxer’s story’ referred to. I would greatly appreciate your response ^^
