YELLOW.
Yellow is Chelsea Hui’s debut collection of poetry, which was self-published by Chelsea in November of 2019.
Yellow is a raw exploration of femininity and takes you on a journey through love,trauma, survival, and healing. ‘A love letter to her culture’, as Chelsea likes to call it, Yellow encapsulates her struggles as a woman of colour and brings to life the experience of living between two cultures and what it means to call two countries home. It is a piece of work inspiring self-love, diversity, and acceptance.
SLICED FRUIT AND OTHER LOVE LANGUAGES.
In Chinese culture, love is not always expressed through fond words or an affectionate touch. For those who did not grow up in a bi-cultural household, our love may seem unfamiliar, at times, even distant. It does not boast or talk loudly but lives in the silences between unspoken words and the subtle acts of service that often go unnoticed and without thanks. It is a mother's selfless act of peeling and plucking all pits and skins, removing any hardness and leaving only the sweet softness of a piece of fruit. It is only ever eating the leftover flesh from the rind to keep the best parts for her children.
Sliced Fruit and Other Love Languages is a collection of poetry that speaks to the friction and beauty of the Asian diaspora experience. Split into three lessons from childhood: Love Is Tolerant, Love Is Strong, and Love is Kind, the book grapples with the intricacies of affection, the trauma of generational and cultural dissonance, and the sacrifice of a mother's love.
