The poetry of Wong Phui Nam (1935–2022) is foundational to Malaysian literature in English, and while his early work is often cited and quoted in this regard, this edited collection of his poetry and critical essays makes it clear that his lifelong trajectory as a poet and critic is of deep interest. In the Mirror by Wong Phui Nam is a critical exploration of Malaysia’s fractured post-colonial identity and literary landscapes.

The editors worked with Wong to prepare his latest works In the Mirror (2000–22) for publication. This volume combines these with his earlier achievements, starting with How the Hills are Distant (1960–64). An introduction by the editors links Wong’s work with contemporary poetry in the region. An afterword by Wong’s contemporary Edwin Thumboo completes a volume that will be treasured for its historical context-making, but more importantly for the literary rewards of Wong’s poetry, written in unblinking confrontation with the contradictions and difficulties of writing in English in the region.

“Wong Phui Nam is one of the giants of Malaysian writing in English, a pioneering poet whose early work captured the cultural desolation of the immediate post-independence years…. His poetry collections, especially those containing multi-part poems, deserve to be read and studied in their entirety.”
- Ann Ang, National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University

Wong Phui Nam (1935-2022) was a Malaysian poet.

Ink Studies explores contemporary practices of calligraphy in China, situating them in both a precarious and dynamic position. While people are increasingly writing less due to digitization, calligraphy is experiencing a revival partly fueled by governmental directives that promote “creativity” as a powerful discourse contributing to economic development. This book unravels intertwined imaginations of contemporary calligraphy in five different visual cultural fields in China today: calligraphy education, water calligraphy in public parks, modern calligraphic art, digital calligraphy and calligraphic font design. The various visual representations of the calligraphic sign within these fields are approached as active agents, demanding various physical and moral behaviors from practitioners. While calligraphy and creativity are often pitted against each other, as the nature of calligraphy is sustained through a culture of copying, the book challenges the perception of calligraphy as a static art, arguing instead for its creative potential in both formal and grassroots contexts. 

"Vermeeren's volume is the long-awaited 'missing course' for understanding Chinese calligraphy beyond conventionalized narratives. Focusing on new forms of shufa practice in everyday lives of Chinese people, it offers rich and gratifying food for thought on creativity, modernity, and the value of art in cultural politics and broader human experiences."  -- Yu Li, Loyola Marymount University

Laura Vermeeren is Assistant Professor of Cultural Heritage and Cross-Media at the University of Amsterdam, with a background in Chinese studies and a focus on creativity, everyday practices, and visual culture.

All Hana wanted was a simple life. Instead, she has her hands full sending a terrorist organization packing, saving her school from destruction, and rescuing her twin sister from the clutches of their terrible parents! Plus, she has to stay on her toes to keep her husband's romantic advances at bay. At this point, living a normal life and flying under the radar are simply impossible. News about who she is has spread far and wide, finally reaching Yukizasa Sankourou, a famous scion from one of the five clans and Saku's old friend who vehemently opposes Saku's marriage to Hana. He isn't content to just grumble either; he fully intends on taking drastic action, and he's not above teaming up with Hana's parents to get her our of the picture!

Hana held up her end of the deal and is ready to follow through with the plan: get married, repair the barrier, get divorce, and cash in on a big payday! However, Saku has caught feelings for Hana, and he deviously changed the terms of their contract. He's not letting her divorce him that easily, as he's on a mission to persuade her to reciprocate his feelings. While Hana is trying to dodge his steamy advances, troubles rears its ugly head. Twins from the Nijouin clan turn up and make it incredibly hard for Hana to lay low at school. Things with her own twin, Hazuki, are as tense as ever. And to top it all off, terrorists are weaking absolute havoc, and Hana may have to reveal her power in order to stop them!

For thousands of years, Japan has been protected by five clans wielding barrier-weaving magic. Born to a branch family of once such clan, eighteen-year-old Hana has always been stuck in the shadow of her more capable, beautiful, and popular twin sister. When a strong power awakens within Hana, she chooses to hide it so she can continue living a quiet life out of the spotlight. But that ideal lifestyle begins to slip out of reach when Saku Ichinomiya takes over as the new head of the Ichinomiya clan and sets out to find a bride strong enough to stand by his side. Eager to keep her abilities secret, Hana steers clear of Saku... but will she be tempted to sign a marriage contract if it guarantees the peaceful, quiet future of her dreams?

After discovering the horrific conditions in Nadasha, Ruri decides she can't sit on the sidelines any longer. Determined to prevent the outbreak of war, she'll somehow have to convince the Priestess Princess herself - Asahi, the last person she ever wants to talk to again. Can Ruri's naive and clueless childhood friend be made to see reason?!

While still transformed into a dainty white cat to avoid unwanted attention, Ruri introduces herself to Chelsie's son, Claus. Struck by the incredible power and unconventional (albeit adorable) form of this Beloved Child, Claus rushes off to notify the Dragon King of his unexpected feline houseguest. But they're about to find out that big trouble can come in small and fluffy packages - which will make it a lot harder for Ruri to explain that she's actually a human!

Ruri just can't get away from Asahi!

Her clingy, oblivious childhood friend is beloved by absolutely everyone, making Ruri the target of resentment and jealousy from Asahi's horde of groupies. When Asahi is summoned to another world to be their "Priestess Princess", of course Ruri gets dragged along for the ride - and branded a traitor who must be exiled to the woods! But now that Ruri is finally out of Asahi's shadow, she may just find that a new world is the perfect place for a new beginning...

The new dungeon, Chalk Tower, is riddled with unpredictable situations! Boss-class foes wandering the halls might not sloe down Alina, but the annihilation of Rufus's party at the hands of an unknown enemy stops her and her temporary comrades in their tracks...! Silver Sword reluctantly opts for a withdrawal - that means escape from adventuring duty for Alina and a return at last to her beloved job as receptionist! But for some reason, a sense of unease lingers. Meanwhile, Rufus joins Silver Sword as the vanguard, and the party attempts to clear Chalk Tower once more. But do they have any chance against a humanoid monster with a Dia Skill?!

The boss found out about Alina's side hustle?!

Seeing Glen Garia, the highest authority of the Adventurers Guild, standing in front of her reception desk is terrifying enough for poor Alina, and what he has to say is no relief: His skill, Sigurth Chronosm, let him look into the past and glimpse beneath the hood of the "Executioner", Alina's alter ego!

Glen invites - or rather, orders - her to guild headquarters and offers her a way out. If she wants to keep her comfy job and avoid getting press-ganged into the Silver Sword party, all she has to go is defeat the Guildmaster himself!

Alina Clover thought being a receptionist for the Adventurers Guild would be her ticket to the good life... but her dream gig turns into an overtime nightmare whenever adventurers get stuck clearing a dungeon. To save herself from paperwork, Aline turns to the simplest solution at hand - beating down the monster herself!

A mysterious adventurer showing up out of nowhere, soloing the boss, then disappearing without taking credit is bound to create rumors, and Alina's treasured job forbids side hustles. So there might be trouble when the leader of the Silver Sword party discovers her secret...!

Sunny Skies, Sandy Beaches, And The Shadow Of Death

Having overcome the Wall of Thirty, Yuki restores her lost fingers and make a full recovery. Not long after, she reaches her next milestone: clearing her fortieth game. It seems like smooth sailing from there, but everything changes during Cloudy Beach - Yuki's forty-fourth game, packed with seasoned players who have also overcome the Wall of Thirty. On the isolated island venue, Yuki stumbles upon a dismembered body that is eerily reminiscent of the work of that sickening psychopath from Candle Woods. She and the other players look high and low for the killer, but night after night, the corpses continue to pile up. Just who is the culprit, and how are they taking out veteran players so easily? More importantly, why does their grisly method of execution resemble the way Yuki's mentor died? To live to see another game, Yuki must answer these questions before it's too late...

The Pitfalls Of Experience

Three months after the events of Candle Woods, Yuki plunges back into the world of death games. This time, she's participating in Scrap Building, a race to escape an abandoned structure filled with deadly traps. But ti make it out alive, she must contend with Mishiro, a haughty, pretentious player intent on getting in her way. Then time goes by, and Yuki finds herself in a game called Golden Bath, staring down the Wall of Thirty - a curse in the industry where misfortune befalls players around their thirtieth game. Whether the effects of the curse are real or her awareness of the phenomenon is tripping her up, one thing is for certain - Yuki is in bad shape as she contends with her toughest game yet.

Building A Life Out Of Death

Yuki wakes up to find herself in an unfamiliar manor, wearing a maid uniform and lying on a luxurious bed. Soon, she discovers five more girls, all dressed the same as her. This is the Ghost House, and the only way they can survive is to make it through the traps that lie in wait - deadly games full of blowguns, buzz saws, locked rooms, and weapons. It's a hopeless, terrifying situation for everyone there... well, everyone except Yuki. After all, this is her career at seventeen. Do you think that's odd? She would agree. But that's how some people are - they earn their living playing death games.

What you forget, I'll always remember.

Subaru Natsuki had just been trying to get to the convenience store, but he wound up summoned to another world. Worse, he has only one special ability, and he has to die to use it! At least now he's got a goal - save the girl with the silver hair and bring a smile to her face. But how many times is he going to have to die a terrible death in order to make that goal a reality?

IT'S EAT OR BE EATEN... LITERALLY!

When young adventurer Laios and his company are attacked and soundly thrashed by a dragon deep in a dungeon, the party loses all its money and provisions... and a member! They're eager to go back and save her, but there is just one problem: If they set out with no food or coin to speak of, they're sure to starve on the way! But Laios comes up with a brilliant idea: "Let's eat the monster!" Slimes, basilisks, and even dragons... none are safe from the appetites of these dungeon-crawling gourmands!

DELICIOUS IN DUNGEON (Dungeon Meshi) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Ryoko Kui.
