Between Wor(l)ds: Hong Kong Poetry of Exile and Hope

Between Wor(l)ds: Hong Kong Poetry of Exile and Hope bridges cultures through the powerful verses of refugees and asylum seekers who have made Hong Kong their temporary home. This groundbreaking bilingual anthology, born from a collaboration between Hong Kong Baptist University translation students and refugee poets, transforms personal narratives of displacement, loss, and resilience into poetry that transcends linguistic and cultural boundaries. As these intimate stories flow from English into Chinese, they weave new threads into Hong Kong's multicultural fabric, creating pathways for voices that might otherwise remain unheard. More than a collection of poems, this volume stands as a testament to human resilience and the transformative power of words to build understanding across invisible divides.

《字「旅」行間：漂泊與盼望中的在港難民詩歌》透過以香港為臨時家園的難民及尋求庇護者的詩句，建立起文化的橋樑。香港浸會大學翻譯系的學生與難民詩人合作，誕生了突破性的雙語詩選集，將關於流離失所和韌力的故事轉化為超越語言和文化界限的詩歌。把如此個人故事翻譯成中文娓娓道來，詩作及翻譯作品都為香港的多元文化編織了新的部分，讓被遺忘聲音及故事可以展現大眾眼前。本詩集不僅是一本詩集藝術，更是人類韌力的見證，以及文字跨越無形隔閡、建立相互諒解的力量。
