"Cyril Wong's poems, clear as water, open our way for wonderful and strange journeys through known and unknown places, places where we feel sure of nothing yet dead sure of everything."
- Clarence Major, author of Configurations: New & Selected Poems 1958-1998

"The poems in Cyril Wong's collection are indeed seeds - each one starts something vibrant and new growing in the world. And though he may write of disaster, it is with triumph; though he may look into the darkest corners, he finds a light there that he brings back to fill his poems, and from there, to fill the reader's mind. These are seeds of light that believe in life - so much so that they can look at it honestly."

"Cyril Wong continues to explore the nuances of relationships, in language that is lyrical, beautifully crafted, and erotically charged. There are several fine love poems that reach out to embrace a common humanity. Wong swims into the undercurrents of family tensions, hidden desires, and the meaning of a self... as well as questioning our understanding of both life and death."
- Rebecca Edwards, author of Scar Country and Holiday Coast Medusa

"Reading Cyril Wong is always to encounter risk, the painful suturing of art and life, trials of faith and baptisms of fire. I have only the deepest respect for someone who has razed the walls between the private and the public, and in doing so, carved more space for all of us."

This narrative is a love story that pierces through the shadow of the inevitable, accompanied by dreams and a reinterpretation of the myth of Shiva and Mohini, the fascinating female-incarnation of Vishnu.

Interwoven with the motifs of time and death, these poems segue into each other like movements in a symphony, singing of equal parts tragedy and joy.]]> 187415 3.93 28 4 2007 6523538 9810475926 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1244175736m/6523538.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1244175736s/6523538.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6523538-below 3.33 3 187415 3.93 28 4 2002 326384 9810443293 1 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1245742797m/326384.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1245742797s/326384.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/326384.The_End_of_His_Orbit 3.33 3 187415 3.93 28 4 2001 2727194 0975022857 9780975022856 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2727194.Excess_Baggage_and_Claim 4.00 1 1193985 4.00 1 0 187415 3.93 28 4 2007
