We Shed Our Skin Like Dynamite is collection of 48 poems, divided into 3 sections of 16 poems each. It is about the development of identity in your early adulthood. What do you let define you? What do you retain, and what do you let go of? It is about seeking answers in other people, unhealthy relationships, in sex, in booze, in weed, in art, in nature. Perhaps most successfully, in nature. In this collection, I seek to reflect the shaky grounds we all navigate while attempting to craft ourselves. The ethereal feeling of grasping for certitude in all the wrong (but hopefully at some point, right) places. The fog of experimenting with yourself. The haze of your early twenties. The insistent return of the desire for transcendence, and the constant dismissal of it in favour of material coping mechanisms.

Wildlife On Coal Island

The eleven stories in Wildlife on Coal Island are set on a fictional island located in present-day Malaysia. Coal Island is a place of secrets, gossip and murder. Peopled with characters that simultaneously laugh at life and are broken by it, it is a petri dish for experiments with the darkness that sometimes enters ordinary days and the surprising clarity that comes after suffering. The humans and animals here will linger in your head as you go about your daily chores: an ageing Chinese opera singer and her pet monkey; a self-proclaimed psychic who is convinced that a tsunami is coming; a murderer who finds worldly wisdom in a wandering Malayan tapir; an ex-colonial plantation overseer, battling with the literal and lateral python of his past; an obese supermarket matriarch who talks to bats.
