Cyril Wong’s latest book of poetry out!

Thursday, August 10, 2006

Select Books warmly invites you to the launch of Cyril Wong’s latest
poetry collection:

LIKE A SEED WITH ITS SINGULAR PURPOSE

6.30pm, (Fri) 18 Aug 2006
at Select Books, Tanglin Shopping Centre (Singapore)

“Singapore has found the pre-eminent visionary love poet of our age.”
- The Straits Times, Life!

“The poems in Cyril Wong’s collection are indeed seeds - each one starts
something vibrant and new growing in the world. And though he may write
of disaster, it is with triumph; though he may look into the darkest
corners, he finds a light there that he brings back to fill his poems,
and from there, to fill the reader’s mind.”
- Cole Swensen, author of Goest and Such Rich Hour

“His use of language and form has a mix of traditions, ethnicities and
even gender but most clearly, it…sculpts a space for the reader to
think, baffle over and be elated.”
- The Business Times

“His poetry is an affirmation of emptiness in a time and place where
this is barely possible.”
- The Arts Magazine

You can also buy the book online at http://www.selectbooks.com.sg now!
It will be available in major bookstores later in the year.


All are welcome!
