Cat Chen Yanyi is the event planner of One City One Book Hong Kong, a community reading initiative, and an independent scholar interested in artists’ life-writing. Apart from her academic pursuit, she enjoys learning crafts, and is now studying puppetry and expressive art therapy (PAPT). She also has a habit of collecting and weaving stories.

Dr Collier Nogues, who enjoys outdoor writing, is the Assistant Professor of Creative Writing at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. She is the author of two poetry collections, and her work appears in the 2023 volume Where Else: An International Hong Kong Poetry Anthology (Verve Poetry Press, UK). She is experienced in teaching community poetry workshops for adults and school-aged students in Hong Kong and overseas. She has partnered with the Education Bureau to bring creative writing into Hong Kong English classrooms. Her favorite thing to do is write outdoors.

One City One Book Hong Kong is a community reading initiative by The Department of Literature and Cultural Studies, EdUHK. Each year, we encourage as many people as possible to read and discuss a featured book. Our aim is to promote literature, reading, and civic engagement.
