ownself say ownself is a chaotic collection of new & selected poetry by Joshua Ip. See satirical singlish sonnets scrabble with spurned spoken word and shady pseudo-song-translations alongside snide summaries, split-screen cinemas, song-dynasty susurrus, scottish-civil-servant-salutations and circumlocutory sex scenes, in a singsong celebration of spurious sesquilinguality!
