Emily Wong

Born and raised in Hong Kong, Emily Wong is currently in school and on a journey of self-discovery and exploration. As an enthusiastic young writer, experimenting with different forms and expressions is what she loves most.

“Moths”, “Meet Me At the Stairs” and “Change Will Come?”

Emily Wong draws poetic sustenance from nature’s presence. Whether in “Moths,” “Meet Me At the Stairs,” or “Change Will Come?,” natural metaphors ground the poems: moon becomes an “empress,”; dawn “the birth of light/after a long misty night,”; and day when “the light is bland,/and the colours don’t dance.”
