# Event Details - **Event Name**: Kubrick Poetry • April • Light Year: a poetry reading - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 19 Apr, 2026 at 03:00 pm (+08:00) - **Event Description**: 時間 Time：2026/4/19 (Sunday) 3:00pm-4:00pm 地點 Venue：Auditorium (1/F) in Broadway Cinematheque 主持 Moderator: Polly Ho 詩人 Poets：Jennifer Wong, Gillian Bickley, Bonnie Wai-Lee Kwong 語言Language：English 登記 Registration: https://forms.gle/7HxLtkzUrF1QdfKCA How do you map out a light year, or any year of our lives? How do you measure time and space? Or love. How do we choose to remember things dear to us? With the passage of years, do we gain new perspectives towards seeing things, and does time change our relationship with others and with ourselves? Light Year by Jennifer Wong is a meditation on time. These poems conjure an intricate constellation of friendships and love in the midst of upheaval, transformation and change. Author and publisher Gillian Bickley and poet Bonnie Kwong will join the reading as guest readers to share their poetry on love and deep wounds, and convey how they grapple with their shifting perspectives/identities as a woman, a daughter / or a mother. Jennifer Wong is a Hong Kong-born poet who lives in the UK. She studied English at Oxford and has an MA and PhD in creative writing from University of East Anglia and Oxford Brookes. She has published three collections including Letters Home 回家 (Nine Arches Press) and is the co-editor of State of Play: Poets of East and Southeast Asian Heritage in Conversation (Out-spoken Press, 2023) and Where Else: An International Hong Kong Poetry Anthology (Verve, 2023). She is also the author of Identity, Home and Writing Elsewhere (Bloomsbury, 2023). Gillian Bickley, with her late beloved husband, Verner Bickley, is the co-founder of the two International Proverse Prizes for writing previously unpublished in English. Her own published work and research balances poetry with Nineteenth Century topics (including Hong Kong public education, and the Christian mission to China). Her current focus is the management of Verner’s literary legacy and his work in education and cross-cultural understanding. The most recent of her own six poetry collections is Grandfather’s Robin. Bonnie Wai-Lee Kwong works in many mediums: poetry, music, theater, performance, video and software. Born in Wisconsin and raised in Hong Kong, she lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for two decades before returning to Hong Kong to care for her mother. She can still be spotted in California from time to time. The department of peace (Sixteen Rivers Press) is her third book of poetry, following The Quenching (Finishing Line Press) and ravel (Neopoesis Press). Her next book, Thank You, Silence, is forthcoming with Omnidawn Publishing in October 2027.
