Mani Rao is one of Hong Kong's best-known and best-selling English-language poets. Her new collection, entitled echolocation, opens up new vistas within Rao's familiar themes of the extremities of desire and the tonalities of love against a matrix of conflict, war and mortality. As the name suggests, the poems open up a vast new range of perception, delve deeper than expected and reveal more than the obvious. An innovative design with a reflective, silver cover echoes the theme of the book and also makes the book an attractive, unique gift.
