-
Gwee Li Sui’s eclectic journal in verse recounts the entire COVID-19 pandemic as experienced in Singapore.
Setting a time of global upheaval against private emotions and meditations, it hauntingly captures the years-long morbid dance of horror and farce, of boisterousness and deathly quiet.
This book is a desperate attempt to document a bygone recent era and asks a central question: what do we elementally lose when we allow ourselves to forget?
-
Gwee Li Sui is a poet, a graphic artist, and a literary critic who holds a doctorate in eighteenth-century literature from Queen Mary, University of London.
