Hong Kong Man: Selected Poems

These are the poems and poetic flashes written by KIRBY WRIGHT during his various residencies overseas and at Martha's Vineyard, Mass. A separate section focuses on Wright's difficult childhood in Hawaii and the mixed emotions he battles dealing with a once-abusive father, now confined to a wheelchair at a care facility, and a narcissistic mother who resents him for being an artist. The cover photo was taken at night—a PLA sentry saw the flash and pursued Wright down Renfro Road in Kowloon Tong. Fortunately, Wright escaped.
