ABOUT THE BOOK
Unapologetic, unafraid and unyielding, Alfian Sa’at’s second collection of verse delves deeper into the concerns in his first volume and moves into reclaiming our collective history and memory. In mining our psyche, he casts light where whispers and shadows lurk. He draws inspiration from censored histories, subsumed myths and invokes imagined voices from the exiled, demanding of the reader to witness the ubiquitous ideological fictions that surround us. This is one of the most dissonant and penetrating voices in Singapore poetry.
With a new conversation between Alfian Sa’at and the founding publisher of Ethos Books, Fong Hoe Fang.
