Nicholas YB Wong’s Cities of Sameness

–

Nicholas YB Wong‘s first full collection of poetry, Cities of Sameness, published by Desperanto, is now available both in print and in Kindle version. Learn more about the book here.

“Cities of Sameness is Nicholas YB Wong’s first candid attempt in merging an Asian voice with American poetics. Poems in the book defy the heterosexual ideal of loves and desires and explore current issues of China and Hong Kong. The book seeks to destabilize social and literary landscape believed to have settled.”

Nicholas YB Wong’s poem “Panda, Macao, Gondolas”, published in Issue #15 of Cha, was nominated for a Pushcart Price.Β See his Cha’s profileΒ here.Β
