Thy Black Wings

Anas Sadan

Summary

Life, we say, is a grand theatrical production. But this performance feels more like a chaotic dress rehearsal gone awry. The script is a jumble of clichés, borrowing from tired tropes, leaving the audience yawning. And the actors? A stumbling crew, delivering lines with all the grace of a newborn giraffe on roller skates. The audience, ever critical, demands perfection yet contributes nothing. And so, the play stumbles on, performed by inept actors for an unappreciative crowd.

Humans Cant Handle It - AI

Mike Blake

Humans Cant Handle It :: A.I. 
Can humans cope with the oncoming juggernaut of AI. Will it shake their faith in themselves. 
Will they be able to adapt in any way to a much greater intelligence than they have known for 
a hundred thousand years or more. And one that is not their own ! 
 
Will their more simple anatomical brains be able to rationalize to the point of understanding 
their new controlling masters !!  
Encapsulated in this poem are some of the dire constraints of 
our human abilities, and the question - can we handle it ?

Eleonora: The Last Testament of...

Julian Fortman

Eleonora of Somerset Hall: A Victorian Romance of Love, Betrayal, and Freedom 
In Victorian England, Lady Eleonora Somerset is trapped in a gilded cage where her beauty is a commodity and her future a transaction. But beneath her exquisite gowns beats a heart yearning for a fierce, untamed freedom. A loveless marriage teaches her that to survive, she must take control. Her rebellion begins with a stolen, forbidden book, awakening a desire that will change everything. 
Her quest for freedom leads her from a passionate affair with a charismatic officer to the ruthless salons of Paris. There, she must choose between the intellectual dominance offered by an enigmatic Marquis and the raw power of an American industrialist. 
Eleonora becomes a formidable queen of her own making, a master of money and influence. But as her power grows, she discovers her throne is the most gilded cage of all, forcing her to confront the heartbreaking cost of the love she abandoned. 
Perfect for fans of sweeping historical romances with strong female characters, complex moral dilemmas, and the intricate social worlds of Downton Abbey and Philippa Gregory. 
Will Eleonora find redemption, or is her empire of ashes the last testament of a heart that learned too late?

The Viewing Party

Yong Shu Hoong

Singapore Literature Prize winner Yong Shu Hoong’s latest book features more than just poetry. There is also a ghostly tale at its core, complete with prose poems and micro fiction of exactly 100 words each, as well as annotated excerpts from an abandoned work. 
 
In this viewing party, readers are invited to take a peek into the domain of death and cinema. You are part of a mob of dispassionate onlookers. Sometimes, you get to play the voyeuristic judge. 
 
Winner of the 2014 Singapore Literature Prize for English Poetry 
 
“There’s a warm easiness to Yong’s voice that’s balanced by a sharpness of insight. He cuts through the layers of familial and social habit to the unseen images and urges that give the mundane the sheen of the numinous. If the book is a viewing party, Yong is a genial and attentive host, inviting us in to absorbing scenes of everyday curiosity and surprise.” 
-Jen Crawford, Assistant Professor and Coordinator of Creative Writing Programme at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
