  In the Victorian age that great adventurer Phileas Fogg attempted to traverse the globe in a mere 80 days using only the existing transport infrastructure and his own nous.    
   
  Today the globe can be spanned much quicker and in more comfortable fashion but alas without much of the intrigues, stories and landscape that accompanied Mr Fogg and made the trip so exciting. 
   
  In this volume we have an answer: Let’s travel the globe with the words and verse of 80 esteemed and voluble poets.  Let’s explore places, peoples, philosophical musings on our world and all manner of things that Mr Fogg had no access to.  With the words of classic poets such as John Keats, Rabindranath Tagore, Du Fu and Edna St Vincent Millay as your companions it’s one heck of a journey.

  The Viewing Party

  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

  A Child of Science

  'One day this will work. One day we will gift two honest, decent, trusting volunteers a baby. I know this more than anything else in the world. I know it in my soul. We will do that.'
  In 1978, three pioneering doctors changed the world of fertility as we know it. Supported by an army of immensely brave women from all over the UK, Patrick Steptoe, Robert Edwards and Jean Purdy achieved the impossible: they created human life in vitro.
  Faced with fierce criticism and hostility, and hounded by the media for 'playing God', trials had to be kept largely under wraps. But the trio's determination to give hope to the thousands of families struggling to conceive eventually led to the first 'test-tube baby' and the creation of IVF, a procedure which has since supported the birth of over twelve million babies worldwide.
  Gareth Farr's play A Child of Science is a fictionalised account of this true story of ambition and courage, based on extensive research and interviews with embryologists and fertility doctors, as well as those affected by and enabled by IVF. It was first performed at Bristol Old Vic in 2024, directed by Matthew Dunster.
