Mary Wollstonecraft - The...

Hector Davidson

Mary Wollstonecraft was a pioneering British writer and philosopher whose ideas on women’s rights and education laid the foundation for modern feminism. Born on April 27, 1759, in Spitalfields, London, she grew up in a time when society severely restricted women's opportunities. Despite these limitations, Wollstonecraft’s determination, intellect, and relentless pursuit of knowledge allowed her to challenge the status quo and advocate for gender equality. Her life was shaped by personal struggles, societal constraints, and an unwavering belief in the power of education.
Wollstonecraft’s early years were marked by financial instability and familial hardships. Her father, Edward Wollstonecraft, mismanaged the family’s wealth, frequently moving the household in pursuit of failed business ventures. This instability forced Mary and her siblings into difficult circumstances, with her witnessing firsthand the consequences of economic insecurity. More troubling, her father was reportedly abusive, particularly towards her mother, which deeply affected Mary’s views on marriage and male authority. Unlike many girls of her time, who received little to no formal education, Mary sought knowledge independently. She read extensively, developed a strong moral compass, and displayed an early inclination toward questioning societal norms.
One of the most influential figures in her formative years was Fanny Blood, a close friend whose intellect and independence inspired Mary. Their friendship was instrumental in shaping Wollstonecraft’s aspirations and her desire for a life beyond the domestic sphere. In pursuit of financial independence, she worked as a governess and later as a teacher, experiences that would inform her views on education.

Right of the Soil

Yong Shu Hoong

The Latin phrase, jus soli (“right of the soil”), is an unconditional right of a person born within the territory of a country to be conferred citizenship. Singapore’s nationality law is based on jus sanguinis (“right of blood”, in which citizenship is determined by that of one or both parents) and a modified form of jus soli (with at least one Singaporean parent). 
 
A two-time Singapore Literature Prize winner, Yong Shu Hoong contemplates how a person is invariably bound to the land on which he first sets foot. These poems address topics like belongingness and birthright by exploring the intermingling of the four fundamental elements of air, water, fire and earth. 
 
Expanded from a 2016 chapbook published a year after the 50th anniversary of Singapore’s independence, this book also attempts to sharpen Yong’s understanding of his relationship with his homeland. A new sequence of poems then plunges readers into Hell, reimagined as Singapore’s third integrated resort that opens underground in the centennial year of 2065, with its concepts inspired by Haw Par Villa’s main attraction, the 10 Courts of Hell. 
 
Beyond our earthly lives, is it soil – or another element or dimension – that will assert its right to claim us? 
 
Shortlisted for the Singapore Literature Prize for Poetry 2020

Dreaming of Ramadi in Detroit -...

Aisha Sabatini Sloan

An electric essay collection about Blackness, art, and dreaming of new possibilities in a time of constriction 
 
 
 
This collection of innovative, penetrating, and lively essays features swimming pools and poets, road trips and museums, family dinners and celebrity sightings. In a voice that is at once piercing, mournful, and slyly comic, Aisha Sabatini Sloan inhabits several roles: she is an art enthusiast in Los Angeles during a city-wide manhunt; a daughter on a road trip with her father; a professor playing with puppets in the wilds of Vermont; an interloper on a police ride-along in Detroit; a collector of the dreams of scientists at a biostation. As she watches cell phone video recordings of murder and is haunted in her sleep by the news, she reflects on her formative experiences with aesthetic and spiritual discovery, troubling those places where Blackness has been conflated with death. 
 
 
 
Sabatini Sloan's lively style is perfectly suited to the way she circles a subject or an idea before cinching it tight. The curiosity that guides each essay, focusing on the period between the 2016 election and the onset of the pandemic, is rooted in the supposition that there is an intrinsic relationship between the way we conceptualize darkness and our collective opportunity for awakening.
