Pebble Swings is the debut poetry collection of local poet Isabella Wang. Drawing on her family history and lived experiences as an immigrant to Canada, Wang's poetry confronts her family history's entanglement with China's Cultural Revolution as well as the tragedy of losing her identity by growing further and further away from her roots. The poems also celebrate the little things about living in Vancouver and contain poems written to other poets such as Natalie Lim, winner of the CBC Poetry Prize in 2018.

Isabella Wang is the editor of Room magazine. Born in Shendong, she immigrated to Canada from Beijing at the age of seven and she is currently an undergraduate student at Simon Fraser University. Over twenty of her poems have been selected for publication in various magazines and anthologies and her poetry has also been short-listed as finalists for publications such as ARC Magazine, The Malahat Review, and The New Quarterly.
