Poetry is not only a fine artistry of wordsmithing, but also a form of expression, an outlet of emotions, communicating feelings and creating resonance between us. On National Poetry Month, we invite you to look back at some poetic moments in past ILFs!

It is with great pleasure that we announce the appointment of Soo Jung Hyun as the new Executive Director of the HKILF.

Soo Jung is a long-standing friend and supporter of the Festival, having previously worked for the HKILF and the Young Readers Festival in their earliest years of existence. She went on to have a stellar career in publishing, working at a senior level for Macmillan and most recently Scholastic from their regional hub in Hong Kong, where she was instrumental in the growth of bookclub, digital, and print businesses.
