Bright Fear by Mary Jean Chan

Buy it from Bookshop.org and support local booksellers   


This is such a clear voiced collection – EDI for Migrants (I) cuts so deeply into White privilege, into my White privilege, it is witty, I want to laugh, but it isn’t a joke.


Poems about London and Hong Kong face each other – we recognise the intend of that.


There is a lot about family, the challenges of family, but also a love that reaches past those challenges.


This is Mary’s second collection, taking the cliche of the difficult second album and smashing it out of the park!
