Cha: An Asian Literary Journal is the first and currently only Hong Kong-based online literary publication.

We are pleased to announce that the sixth issue of Cha: An Asian Literary Journal has now been launched. It features work by Inara Cedrins, Ching-In Chen, Kevin Hsu, Shara K. Johnson, Jee Leong Koh, Franky Lau, Jason Lee, Yew Leong Lee, Joey Li, Blair Reeve, Gillian Sze, Eddie Tay, Phoebe Tsang, Brian Urtz, Nicole Wong, Bryan Thao Worra, Xu Xi and Yuan Qiongqiong.

Two guest editors helped put the issue together. Award-winning Hong Kong poet Arthur Leung generously lent us his time and expertise to help us read the poetry. Historian, poet and Cha regular Reid Mitchell provided feedback on the prose.

Eddie has already written several excellent reviews for our journal, and we are excited that he will be joining us in an official capacity. To find out where to send review copies or to submit a review to Cha, please email Eddie at (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
