Perspective - Poems

Christie Leigh Babirad

Summary

There are many different ways to look at life’s situations and adventures. Within the tingling emotions of the truest love, the burning pain of a heartbreak that may never receive closure or justice, the stirring of new ideas that will bring you into a better world for yourself and loved ones; within all of these emotions, PERSPECTIVE is the star.

Perspective is the common thread through all the events of life that, depending on how you view what takes place, brings you to the other side for better or worse. Perspective will always be the main player in your story of what you love, embrace, and manifest, as well as what you dislike and need to set free from your heart. Which stance will you take? Which outlook will lead you to the life beyond your childhood dreams and fantasies? The power is always within you, within your chosen perspective.

Get ready for a poetic and lyrical ride through the heart as it faces love, passion, hurt, opinions, and existential conclusions.

This is “Perspective.”

Of Sea

Elizabeth-Jane Burnett

Of Sea takes the form of a poetic bestiary of creatures living beneath, beside and above the water: in wetlands, salt marshes and the intertidal zone. In a sequence of 46 poems, Burnett captures the world of cockles and clams, rare moths and the humble earwig (to name a few) with a precise and dynamic lyric that seems always on the verge of music.
"Burnett is one of the UK's most original poets of the nonhuman world, and of our environmental moment. Innovative, dazzling, affecting poems that shimmer with intellectual acuity and emotional resonance." Rebecca Tamás

Patient History

Tricia Tan

“Patient history” is a medical term describing the method by which doctors gather information about a patient’s past and present conditions. Yet, how much of a patient’s history do doctors really know, and how much agency do we have in determining our own histories? 
Patient History is a whimsical exploration of the typically grim world of sickness and death. Woven from pop culture, fairytales, and East-meets-West childhood memories of growing up in Singapore, these fantasies are cotton candy sweet—osteoporosis becomes Singapore’s signature Chili Crab, a fistula transfigures into fairy, and organs are commemorated as a theme park.
