LOUD POEMS FOR A VERY OBLIGING AUDIENCE by NG YI-SHENG

I am gushing over this book! Not only can he string words together that results in a beautiful collection of poetry, but this book has made me laugh out loud in public several times. This collection is a reflection of Singapore culture; he’s used a lot of local colloquialism in his poems. What’s more important, to me, is that this book is a critique of the Singaporean political structure, but is done in a very lighthearted way that it makes you laugh at how ridiculous and unreasonable the government can be.

Also, look at that cover!
