Synopsis

Shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize 2023

Shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best Collection 2023

A The Irish Times Book of the Year

In his disquieting third collection The Ink Cloud Reader, Kit Fan takes enormous risks linguistically, formally and visually to process the news of a sudden illness and the threat of mortality, set against the larger chaos of his beloved city Hong Kong and our broken planet. These shape-shifting poems are sensitive to anxiety and to beauty, questioning the turbulent climate of our time while celebrating the power of ink – of reading and writing.
