The Ocean Of Ambition - Thryft

Reflective poetry on the vastness of ambition.

If you're someone who appreciates poetry that finds the profound in the everyday, "The Ocean Of Ambition" could speak to you. Koh Buck Song captures everyday moments and magnifies their significance, gently nudging you to consider the wider picture of our ambitions and the small wonders we overlook in our pursuit of them. It's a reminder to observe, reflect, and find meaning in the simple things, which, in today's fast-paced world, could be just the respite you need.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The Ocean Of Ambition, Koh Buck Song's third collection of poems, takes us on a journey of familiarity and emotion. Nothing is too small or too large for his perceptive eye - a squirrel, Batman, the Taj Mahal. Describing scenes and feelings with artistic ease and drawing connections between these subjects and our workaday lives, Buck Song reminds us of what we miss by being too focused, by failing to pause and absorb and appreciate what surrounds us.The Ocean Of Ambition is a habitat that is not always hospitable, and in this ocean hapless squid struggle to survive. The author hopes that it sums up the essence of all the ambitions of art - to give voice to the human condition.
