Description
Gillian Bickley was born and educated in the UK and has lived mainly in Hong Kong since 1970. The poems in Sightings are on Hong Kong, Europe, and personal subjects, accessible to many listeners, both young and old. They consider what it is like to be a human being in this modern world, drawing inspiration mainly from the people whom the writer has encountered, especially in Hong Kong.
An academic turned full-time writer, editor, and publisher, Gillian invites listeners to share her enjoyment of city and country, simple and complex ideas and events, and her empathy with the largely innocent people she has come across. In her trademark transparent style, she draws on events, happenings, creatures, artifacts and objects she has seen, and on places and people she has experienced in Asia, Europe, North America, and Africa, as well as on stimulating and memorable books she has read.
