The Singer and Other Poems
Author(s): Kim Cheng Boey; Shirley Geok-lin Lim (Introduction by)
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. ‘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 ‘In this work of a mature artist, Kim Cheng Boey’s characteristic style - literary, allusive, with a flaneur’s sensibility - is on full display.’ - Shirley Geok-lin Lim
