True to the promise of its title, Food Court offers a poetic feast for the delectation and delight of the experienced and novice reader, the self-professed Hong Kong insider or the transient or first-time visitor to English-language creative writing in Hong Kong. Food is the subject matter of many of the poems, but the title of this first collection by Timothy Kaiser is also self-consciously ironical. Kaiser likes to write about the men and women who make a living in the food trade -- preparing it, cooking it, selling it and, of course, others who are just consumers ... His project in this first collection is the transformation of these men and women and what they do into the subjects and images of poetry. -- From the foreword by Elaine Y.L. Ho
