Description:
In this new collection by a seasoned master, Kim Cheng Boey moves between Singapore and Australia, youth and middle age – places and times rendered in vivid, sensory detail – to give a haunting exploration of memory and the emigrant experience: departures and arrivals; family and home; exile, longing and loss.
â€When I was younger, poetry carried me posthaste, high on the fuel of experience and freshness of thought. Now I move in slow time, listen to the poem as I carry it, and let memory tell me where to go.’ — Kim Cheng Boey
â€In this work of a mature artist, Kim Cheng Boey’s characteristic style – literary, allusive, with a flâneur’s sensibility – is on full display.’ — Shirley Geok-lin Lim
