COMMENTS

• ‘For Tammy, expression is as much about bringing the world home to Hong Kong as it is to share what Hong Kong’s writers create with the world—and to provide the writers in her vineyard with a safe space in which to express themselves as freely as possible.’ (12 July 2018; via.)
• ‘TS Eliot Prize winner Sarah Howe and Commonwealth Poetry Prize and American Book Award winner Shirley Geok-lin Lim are names whose reach clearly transcends the city; others such as Xu Xi, Jennifer Wong and Tammy Ho have established followings in the wider English-speaking world.’ (12 December 2017; via.)
• ‘Hong Kong crime writer Chan Ho-kei and much-loved poets Tammy Ho and Nicholas Wong are among the 18 local authors.’ (3 October 2017; via.)
