Odes to tea
Odes To Tea is a reflection of the author's personal experiences and those of others. Tea's body-defending virtues have been known since Antiquity. Tea reminds us of Nature and the Seasons, the winter cold and the following green reawakening. Through this soothing, yet stimulating drink, the poet evokes an affirming rebirth and a return into one's own.
These poems are the fruits of a philosophy at the confluence of Western and Eastern civilisations, an invitation to journey together and serene moments of meditation.
Poems filled with the essence of humanity.
Chung-hing writes and paints. After graduating
from Hong Kong University with a B.A. Degree of
Chinese and English literature, she studied at the l'Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts à Paris. In her
work, she fuses French culture with her deeply
rooted Oriental identity. Born in a traditional
Buddhist family and brought up with a western education in
an Anglican school, she has forged a particular and vibrant
sensibility.
She lives and works in Paris, and has held a number of exhibitions,
merging paintings with poetry.
