Observations of life, from East to West: the transformation of Hong Kong over the years; the beauties and troubles of Asia and of other countries; the re-visitation of Italy, her homeland, after many years of living abroad. Also vivid descriptions of the many facets of everyday life, including love, friendship, motherhood, and writing.

Paola Caronni was born in Italy and has been living in Asia for over twenty years. Now in Hong Kong, she works as a translator, interpreter and tutor of the Italian language, and teaches Creative Writing to a group of asylum-seekers. A main theme in Paola’s poetry is her exploration of the struggle she experiences as one coming from the West but belonging to the East.
