The Lover's Inventory

Co-winner of the Singapore Literature Prize 2016 for English Poetry

A crucifix, a piece of underwear, a body part — these belong to a lover’s inventory that encompasses objects, places, sensations, and other memorabilia, providing springboards for memory and poetry. Mischievous, ambivalent, erotic to sentimental and profound, these poems serve as letters to past flings, lovers and exes, bearing messages about the challenges of desire, loneliness, and letting go.
