Poems of Inspector Chen: The poems in the present collection are compiled chronologically, to be more specific, in the order of their appearanc - Paperback

The poems in the present collection are compiled chronologically. Some of them have appeared-either entirely or partially-in the Chen novels, but with his writing in a hurry under the stress of the job, he usually takes time later to revise them, so the poems here may show difference, sometimes substantial, from the original versions. And some of them, either written in his pre-inspector days, or conceived in fragments only in his mind, now appear for the first time in the collection here.
