International Poetry Nights in Hong Kong 2015, Poetry and Conflict, explores the multi-layered relationships between poetry and war. Acclaimed poets from war-troubled countries past and present engage war as a topic in their works, exchanging views and exploring the complex ways in which poetry has been able to play a role in the most violent events in human history. In doing so, they encourage the writers and readers of war-free Hong Kong to reflect upon the local milieu in a global framework.

This box set extends the single-volume anthology with twenty-one pocket-sized paperbacks encased in a fine paper box. Chapbooks can be purchased individually, with poems accompanied by English and/or Chinese translations.
