Edwin Thumboo, one of Singapore's pioneering literary voices, brings his incisive awareness of socio-cultural history to this volume of poetry. With a humanist's eye, narratives spanning the domestic, the politic and the mythic form intertextual responses to the works of art hanging on the walls of the National Gallery Singapore.

This volume is the second title in the Gallery's Words on Art series: books dedicated to examining the intersections between visual and literary art.
