Content Summary:
 
We share the same genes
Although we speak a subtle different tongue
Of generations and geography and time.
Both still drawn to the sound of the sea
That lies between us.

In Accidental Occidental, a unique collage of words and images, David McKirdy spins an Asian tapestry of people, places and impressions.

One of Hong Kong’s best-know poets, David McKirdy was born in Scotland, raised in Hong Kong and confused in England when he arrived there for the first time as a twenty-year-old. Once he returned to Hong Kong, he never left again.
