I recently came across this book and enjoyed reading it. It’s a compilation of 69 poems by 37 new voices. It was refreshing to be absorbed into this book. Some of the themes revolve around identity, grief and political satire.

The poem I resonated with would be the one by Emmanuel Yogan Lourdes, with the title Indian.

Another poem that I loved was by Julianne Jeyapragasam, titled Gunpoint. It may be concise by speak volumes.

I would recommend Malaysians to pick this book up and enjoy the invigorating voices of our very own. ❤️
