Lok Fung explores the political, linguistic and cultural tensions of
being both from Hong Kong and a feminist in her first major bilingual
collection in English. A prolific poet and critic, she writes in
Cantonese, sprinkling her work with pop culture references, and engaging
directly with the current turmoil in Hong Kong (and broader Chinese)
politics and society, as well as the shifting interventions with the
international community. Fung is best known for her award-winning
Chinese collection Flying Coffin. Her interests include cultural and
film theory, gender studies, popular culture, performance studies,
cross-dressing and fashion.
