We are very pleased and proud to announce that our Reviews Editor Eddie Tay, who is also a professor teaching creative writing and poetry at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, has just published his third full-length collection of poetry, The Mental Life of Cities (Chameleon Press). The collection is "a meditation on the modern city and creative life" and the poems are inspired by "the ways in which the English and the Chinese languages intertwine and take root in the Asian cities of Hong Kong and Singapore".  
-
Four poems from the collection: "Night Thoughts", "Country", "White Pages" and "Cities" appear in the current issue of Cha; "Night Thoughts" has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize 2010.

If you would like to receive a review copy of The Mental Life of Cities, please also write to Tammy.
