inheritance: an anthology

My work has been published for a second time, this time in Inheritance: An Anthology (Math Paper Press, 2017) 💞

The blurb:

Inheritance: An Anthology is a collection of Singaporean poetry that questions the concept of hone. It searches for meaning in the quiet and personal, but also in the broader narrative of our history. Where do we come from, and what does that make us? How do our origins change the way we live, and the way we relate to one another? Featuring a diverse group of poets and subjects, the anthology whispers tales of tenderness, melancholy, and the complicated nature of love.

Do buy the book if you can! The poems in it are stunningly raw and heartbreaking - I think it does a good job of capturing the universal struggle to make sense of family and cultural roots, a struggle that transcends race and religion.
