  • This poetry book is a collection of English poems written in the 80s in Hong Kong and London by HK storyteller Yuen Che Hung aka Uncle Hung. The written poems are split into 2 sections and three selected poems followed with music performed by three independent HK musicians: Wilson Tsang, Sze Ka Yan and Wong Hin Yan which enhances the reading experience. This musical session is captured in a cassette tape as a salute to the 80s and is uniquely attached to the book cover.

    British-Chinese bookbinding artist Anh Tran serendipitously created the cover art when she experimented with weaving upcycled plastic bags collected from a London market.

    An edition of 300 is produced for this unique poetry publication. Published by Small Tune Press, February 2021.


    這本詩集是由香港「講古佬」阮志雄(又稱雄仔叔叔)在80年代於香港和倫敦兩地所撰寫的英文詩歌。 這些詩分為兩部份,當中有3首詩由雄仔叔叔朗讀,並伴隨著由三位香港獨立音樂家:史嘉茵、曾永曦、黃衍仁演奏的音樂,邀請讀者經歷獨特的閱讀之旅。 這些音樂附在書套上的卡式磁帶裡,成為書本的一部份。

    來自倫敦的華裔書籍裝釘藝術家陳邦英,在不久前嘗試以回收來的塑料袋作編織,演譯了她跟雄仔叔叔的「偶然的相遇」並成為本書的封面及封套。

    本詩集共製作了300份。由Small Tune Press在2021年2月出版及發行。

about

Nightmare Train, 21 July 1984

lyrics

Am I on the wrong train
Have I lost my schedule
Tell me
Am I too early
Or too late
Too early
The sun is not up yet
Too late
The moon irredeemable
Where is the train master
Can he give me up-to-date information
Offer me a map
On which I can read my fate like a palm
Have I got an invalid ticket
Or there is a valid one
Void destination
Abandoned terminal
Should I get off now
Or should I ride on
Where is the next stop
But if I don’t have a passport
Why is the train so empty
While it’s full of echos
I can see no scenery through the window
Only the reflection of my abortive past
It’s cold in a one-man cabin
Show me to the warm seat of your smile
I doubt if the train’s still on the track
Two silvery fingers of happiness
Am I on the wrong train
Tell me
Am I too earrly
Or too late
