3. How does Christina Wong’s poetic text shape your reading experience?

Denison Avenue blends fiction and ink artwork to tell the story of Wong Cho Sum, a recent widow navigating life in Toronto’s gentrifying Chinatown. As she collects bottles to fill her days, she encounters grief, resilience, and the harsh realities facing Chinese Canadian elders. This poignant work is both a meditation on loss and a vivid portrait of a disappearing community. Denison Avenue will be available free in ebook and audiobook formats in Libby between November 4-18.

3. How does Christina Wong’s poetic text shape your reading experience?

What do you think of the poetic way Christina Wong's text is written? Does it remind you of the cadence and tones of Chinese dialects? Does it visually lead you into the story differently than regular prose might?
