Eddie Tay presents a bold attempt to transcend history and culture."-Clarence Tsui, South China Morning Post"Tay's different faces - the lover, the classical Chinese poet, and the self in the city - maintain a distinctive voice of direct passion and energy, yet with economy, elegance, and reticence.
