文學 > 世界文學
Of Leaves & Ashes by Patty Ho (何世嫻) is a collection of poems: among these, some relate to philosophy and some to old Chinese poems to which Patty Ho has added new thoughts. Others are more musical and are additionally presented on the accompanying CD as songs. Love and pain, dreams and disillusion, leaves and memories, ashes and hopes, encounters and homecomings, sorrow and beauty... all are interwoven in the poems in this book. The notes contain Patty Ho’s translations of the Chinese poems quoted in the book.

Patty Ho
PATTY HO (何世嫻) was born in Hong Kong. She studied law at the University of Hong Kong and is now practising as a solicitor in a local law firm. She studied philosophy in the Master of Arts in Philosophy (part-time) programme at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. She is also interested in singing and writing music for poems. Apart from her interest in philosophy and music, she has always been a poetry lover and poetry still remains what she loves most. She first started to write poems in her secondary school days, in Form Six, and has kept up her interest in reading and writing poems ever since. Time and experiences in life have deepened her love for poetry, and the study of philosophy has given her inspiration for writing some deeper and thought-provoking poems. Apart from words, she loves to express her poetry in music and songs. What she strives to attain is to unfold the pages of her poems, pour out her songs and stars, transform sorrow into beauty, and paint her own essence with love.
