Bio.
Wendelin Law

is a writer born and raised in Hong Kong's concrete jungle. Now living in Scotland, she's writing beneath a foreign sky. Though the sky, once surrounded by monstrous high-rises, has always been foreign to her. Many of her works are shadowed by Hong Kong's urban landscape, people, and protests.
She writes mostly in English. As a second language, it is distanced from her––not too far away, but not too close––providing a sanctuary for expressing all that might be deemed "overly sentimental" in her mother tongue.
She has two MSc in Creative Writing and Literature & Modernity from The University of Edinburgh. She received the Professor Shirley G.L Lim Poetry Writing Scholarship 2018 (First Prize) and was the 2nd prize winner of the RTHK Radio 3 Hong Kong's Top Story Competition 2020. Her manuscript As Wild As was shortlisted for the Magma Poetry Pamphlet Competition 2022. She is the winner of the Verve Poetry Festival Competition 2023, judged by Kim Moore.
The sound of her Cantonese name is composed of colours: blue and green.
Cantonese Bio. 作家簡介.
筆名青嵐,讀音「青、藍」,兩種色彩出自父親為筆者所取之本名。
偶爾會用中文寫作,以詩詞散文為主,形式不拘,因討厭束縛。
寫詩時倍感逍遙暢快,字可溫婉亦可銳利,字裡行間有意無意滲透著日所思、夜所夢,情感思緒無所遁形,盡抒心中糾纏的快樂與鬱結。
吾詩乃情書,封封上款皆為香港。
願愛與自由常存。
