Over There: Poems from Singapore and Australia

by Alvin Pang, John Kinsella
Over There: Poems from Singapore and Australia
Over There: Poems from Singapore and Australia

Cross-cultural poetic dialogue between Singapore and Australia.

If you're intrigued by varying cultural landscapes and the power of poetry to bridge them, "Over There" is a treasure trove you shouldn't miss. Every poem is a journey, an insight into the hearts and minds of poets separated by oceans but united in artistry. Encounter the voices that define and challenge the essence of Singaporean and Australian identities.

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

Curated by two of the foremost literary figures of their generation, the ground-breaking Singapore-Australia anthology of poetry brings together for the first time the contemporary work of the finest poets at work in Singapore and Australia today. Over There: Poems from Singapore and Australia features a fresh selection of established as well as previously unreleased work from writers such as Edwin Thumboo and Cyril Wong from Singapore, and Dorothy Porter and Kevin Hart from Australia. Over 20 writers from each territory are featured, representing the diverse and interesting voices currently at play in both territories, and creating an ongoing discourse between the exciting literary cultures of the two Pacific neighbours. The anthology ranges across many themes: from an ever-shifting sense of cultural, urban and personal identity to place, politics, sex, religion and more, with clear resonances and connections bridging the two territories. The book, made available in both territories, marks the first time that a major Singaporean literary anthology is released to the wider Australian market.
