Myriads of Joy
This anthology of poems is based on personal experiences, childhood memories, travels, work, Singaporean local culture, observations, imagination and an interview. The poems give an interesting angle to the subjects, sometimes funny, but always positive. Quite a few poems emanate from a joy of tasting and eating food. Some poems are about the things we treasure, personal strength and lovable animals. Some poems take you to other countries for a measure of freshness. These poems were written around 2013-14 and 2015-2020. The subjects are precious treasures to me - their sights, sounds, smells and feelings aroused. Some interesting personalities of Singapore are included. By publishing the poems, I hope the reader will be enthused, enthralled and amused. I do not describe the poems at this point in order to let the readers appreciate the poems later when they actually read the book.
Moving House
Theophilus Kwek's first UK collection is concerned with the individual and the collective stories that become history. The poems set out from formative moments in the poet's memory, to pivotal moments in the colonial past of Southeast Asia, and finally the political upheavals of the present. Hospitality, precarity, migration – these are some of the themes that recur as the poet makes his own journey from Singapore to Europe and back again. Moving House moves on a big time and space map, from Icelandic tales to the Malayan Emergency, and more contemporary dramas. From the perspective of a Chinese Singaporean shaped by the collective traditions and histories described in this book, writing in Britain, the poems model a sense of openness on the space of the page.
The Collected Poems of Arthur Yap
Arthur Yap published four major collections of poetry: Only Lines (1971), Commonplace (1977), Down the Line (1980), and Man Snake Apple & Other Poems (1986); and contributed a section of poetry in the anthology Five Takes (1974). These five publications are now out-of-print. The Collected Poems of Arthur Yap gathers the entire corpus of Arthur Yap's poems, including his "vignettes" and other poems, in a single volume for the first time.
Standing in the Corner
Singapore’s award-winning poet sets out to recall a real childhood, where children are not the little innocents people think all children are.
City Of Rain
“One of Singapore’s most visible poets, Pang grows with each book. In his poems we hear a voice unhurried, confident, and capable of carrying diverse humors, and read a rhetoric shaded to ironies, surprising us with glimpses of contemporary experience that affirm yet mock, celebrate and unsettle. His poetry adds a rich and complex presence to the critical mass of urban literature now fully emergent from Singapore. His poems, at once recognizably national and international in reach, offer a fresh edgy energy to this tradition.” - Professor Shirley Geok-lin Lim, Winner of the Commonwealth Poetry Prize, 1992 and author of Joss and Gold
