Summary

In "An Essence of the Dusk," F. W. Bain weaves a poetic tapestry that exudes a profound sense of mysticism and introspection. The narrative is imbued with rich symbolic language, capturing the delicate interplay between light and darkness, life and death. Set against an ethereal backdrop, Bain explores themes of transcendence and the ephemeral nature of existence, inviting readers to engage with his philosophical musings on the human condition. The book's stylistic elegance is reminiscent of turn-of-the-century literary movements, where the blending of Eastern philosophies with Western romanticism sparked a resurgence of spiritual exploration in literature. F. W. Bain was a noted scholar and an influential figure in the arena of Indology, which deeply informed his writing. His fascination with ancient texts and cultures is evident in his narrative choices and thematic explorations. Bain's own experiences in the context of the spiritual and the mystical shaped the contemplative essence of this work, making it a profound reflection of his intellectual heritage and philosophical inquiries into existence. Readers seeking a thought-provoking journey through the twilight realms of consciousness will find "An Essence of the Dusk" a rewarding experience. Bain's artful prose and evocative imagery create a resonant atmosphere that lingers long after the final page is turned, inviting us to ponder life's eternal questions.

    Cheng Him’s explosive debut poetry collection is a narrative-in-poems exploring the inner psyche of the mythical Singaporean Ah Seng, made prismatic through the lens of Buddhism and mid-2010s clubbing fervour.  
From the tumultuous days of his childhood to the wayward hurricane of his youth, Boh Beh Zhao charts the trajectory of someone wandering through life as though it has no beginning or conceivable end, and plots his eventual landing into the barren fields of the latter. Hop onboard Ah Seng’s chaotic journey and ask yourself: what does it mean to live life so fast that all else seems to stand still?

    Berliners - A Dark Angels poem

    Berliners is a poem that originated from a conversation in Berlin. After several visits to Berlin, and a recent work assignment there with the German Film Academy, John Simmons became fascinated by the role of the city in 20th century world history. From the First World War to the Weimar Republic; the rise of the Nazis leading to the next world war; followed by the Cold War, the separation of the city by a wall into east and west representing opposed ideologies; then eventually the destruction of the wall by the people and the reunification of Germany. Berlin was at the centre of the conflict and drama that shaped the modern world, and its history still resonates today. The poem tells the story of the 20th century through a tableau of vivid scenes brought to life by a diversity of poetic forms – all seen through the lens of the people and places of this one extraordinary city, Berlin.
