Memory, Myth and Migration: an exploration of the lyric 'I' in the British-Chinese immigrant experience and Asian-American poetry

我的创意项目将包括一个完整的首集诗歌和创新的批判性研究。这些诗歌将关注第二代英国华人移民的经历，我认为这是一个在当代英国诗歌中从未被探索过的领域，并将涉及亚裔美国人的散居、流亡和移民的诗歌经历。我的创造性工作将涉及语言和他者性的理论和诗歌考虑，文化和种族身份的问题以及它们丰富的可能性。我将探索英中两国经历的诗意叙事，尤其是利物浦作为港口和拥有欧洲最古老唐人街的城市的航海历史。

My creative project will consist of a full-length first collection of poetry and innovative critical research. The poems will focus on the second-generation British-Chinese immigrant experience, an area which, I believe, has not previously been explored in contemporary British poetry, and will engage with the Asian-American poetic experience of diaspora, exile and migration. My creative work will engage with theoretical and poetic considerations of language and otherness, the problematics of cultural and racial identity as well as their enriching possibilities. I will explore poetic narratives of British-Chinese experience, particularly with particular reference to Liverpool's maritime history as a port and a city with the oldest Chinatown in Europe.
