- About the Poet
-
The fifth volume of poetry by one of Singapore’s most distinguished poets carries in addition several hybrid pieces that the author calls prosexcursions, and short fiction with a Catholic flavour, crucifictions. Known for the strongly spiritual nature of her writing which nonetheless achieves a universal appeal, Lee’s quiet humour balances the critical irony associated with her approach to her subjects, and is applied in this collection to contemporary preoccupations with cyberspeak and the social media, taking the author into new and fascinating areas of human communication.
