Always wanting to be a writer she kept a diary which was published as Runaway: Diary of a Street Kid in . The graphic book was a critical and commercial success.

Kinsella , a relationship that ended up with him suing her for libel .

Evelyn Lau - Canadian Poet © Evelyn Lau Last Year he called it the year of the long hallucination this storm in the brain, this storm in the sky this storm of words in the blue room where patients sat in different positions on the couch. it was the year undefined until his analyst failed to fall in love with you he saw the unworthiness of what he loved you would call it a year of lies. mirrors smoked on every wall down the hallway when he returned to his office his face the color of bone and a storm rose on the horizon of his consulting room. you saw afterwards he had drawn coffins and steeples on the inner leaves of your file, around your words, that his pen was angry. if it was your hallucination, on the final day the storm of words would falter and silence at the door as patient after patient walked away. Dressing Up drops of perfume dangle from your fingers like yellow pearls, you smear them in snail's tracks along your arms between your breasts a stranger pats his hand on your back a serpent climbs the poles of your lungs to uncoil into a sob your brain is dizzy with pills that dissolve into the watermelon underflesh of your tongue every glass reflects the mask slipping a thin strand of hair or a smudged mouth you are beginning to see your seams it is autumn and the trees strike live matches around your home.

In conjunction with Lau's new book, Choose Me, Gutter Press is re-releasing Oedipal Dreams. About Oedipal Dreams Irving Layton commented: "Evelyn Lau is the poet I've been waiting for... Her lines and images are compellingly fresh." Brian Fawcett remarked: "These are raw, angry poems. They're also loaded with intelligence and jeweled with unexpected moments of insight...In the dark glitter of her subject matter, no one should miss the fact that there is first and finally a writer behind it, and an astonishingly gifted one... [Evelyn Lau] has more courage than the whole generation of poets that preceded her." Evelyn Lau was short-listed for the Governor General's Award for Poetry at the age of 21, the youngest person ever nominated for the award.

Hon insåg redan vid sex års ålder att hon ville bli författare, men hennes föräldrar hade inte samma uppfattning. P g a stökiga hemförhållanden rymde Evelyn hemifrån när hon var fjorton och levde sedan "på gatan" i flera år. Där levde hon ett hårt liv, hon tjänade sitt uppehälle genom prostitution och hon började använda droger. Under alla dessa år skrev hon dagbok och drömmen om att bli författare höll hon vid liv trots misären. Hon fick sedan ett stort genombrott med sin debut

by Merri Lisa Johnson January 2000 Postfeminist Poetry: Evelyn Lau's Oedipal Dreams (Story of My Youngest Sister) My youngest sister brought me a book of poetry last week as a way of trying to establish an adult relationship with me by sharing something we both enjoy. The book was Oedipal Dreams by Evelyn Lau. I was struck by the cover-the author's face a white apparition emerging from intense darkness, blackish red lips, full like pockets of blood. This book seems to seduce me at first glance. I have been curious, lately, about contemporary women's poetry, wanting to study it both as a scholar and a writer, so I started here. I read the back cover: "these are raw, angry poems." I flipped through the pages to see if my sister had marked anything. She had. One page with its corner flipped down, the poem "Father." I began to see my sister's attraction to this work. As I read through the first third of Lau's poems, I noticed repeated images: needles, broken glass, wounded flesh, ashes, amitriptyline. The book's atmosphere reminds me of a movie my other sister, the middle sister, lent me last month, "Gia," starring Angelina Jolie, another dark work with characters desperate for love, settling for heroin. I dimly recognize this world my sisters conjure around them, remember seeking out this sort of pained art to deal in some tangible way with my own hurt. For me (as for many) it was

Newsletter Quick Links Media Releases Festival in the News Festival History Event 4 Up Evelyn Lau Friday, August 13th 1:00pm Against all odds, Evelyn Lau, 14 year old street kid, prostitute and drug user, surfaced to become Evelyn Lau, best-selling author. Lau considers her street life to have been eminently more bearable than life at home trying to cope with the demands of a traditional Chinese mother and an increasingly ineffectual father. Her diaries, chronicling life before and during her two years on the streets, became Runaway: Diary of a Street Kid (HarperCollins, 1989). The book has been translated into a dozen languages, made into a CBC-TV movie and was on bestseller lists for 30 weeks. Oedipal Dreams (1992) was nominated for the Governor General’s Award for Poetry, and her reputation as one of Canada’s most important writers was confirmed with Fresh Girls and Other Stories (HarperCollins, 1993).

INSIDE OUT REFLECTIONS ON A LIFE SO FAR by Evelyn Lau Twelve years after the publication of her bestselling memoir Runaway: Diary of a Street Kid , in a collection of eloquent and affecting pieces Evelyn Lau reflects on her life, her relationships, and her identity as a writer. Moving seamlessly through past and present, Lau describes how her complex, painful relationship with her parents has shaped her adult desires, thwarting her efforts to connect with both men and women. She recalls her dangerous battle with bulimia and examines her continued struggle against crippling depression. Revisiting her life as a prostitute, she explores the extent to which it continues to distort both her perception of herself and the perceptions others have of her. Lau now values home above almost everything else and traces this new attitude back to her time on the streets. Above all, she considers her life as a writer, remembering the force with which her childhood passion for writing was once suppressed. She reveals the supreme importance she has come to place on her writing and explains her controversial willingness to breach the boundaries between public and private in the name of art. B eautifully written, each of these pieces is remarkable for its startling honesty, sensitivity, and painful insight. With

"An emotional sea of turmoil"....does this sound familiar? How? Why? Evelyn Lau Evelyn Lau is known as one of the greatest writer's of Chinese decent in Canada. For two years she lived life on the street, working as a prostitute to save herself from an abusive family. No one believed in her, and she did not believe in herself. Thrust into the spotlight at the age of eighteen, Evelyn Lau became the center of controversy when her diary became a CBC movie about drug addiction and teenage prostitution. Criticized by the Chinese community for portraying her culture in an unflattering light, critics demanded her to be more sympathetic to her past. Overcoming a sea of emotional turmoil, she emerged to be a successful writer by the age of twenty. "Does the judicial system of Canada support the victims of sexual assault?" "Why do girls turn to substance abuse?" "Why do women suffer from eating disorders?" If you would like to read the rest of this story please visit CoolWomen
