Embedded Files
Welcome to the online collection of the winning works from Lingnan University's 2021 campus-wide creative writing contest! Many of these works originated in the prose and poetry workshops offered by the Department of English in Spring 2021, led by writers Jennifer Wong and Collier Nogues. The final winners were chosen by fiction writer Xu Xi and poet Natalie Linh Bolderston. As editors of this showcase, Jennifer and Collier would like to thank our wonderful judges, the Department of English, and the brilliant student writers of Lingnan University. We hope you enjoy reading these poems and stories by Lingnan's brightest literary talents.
