Last Boy

Ng Yi-Sheng

4.9/5 (9900 ratings)

Description:"Ng Yi-sheng's writing is always good for a romp through the enticing playground of language... but don't forget to stand aside, catch your breath, and observe the soul-ground on which Last Boy plays."- Lee Tzu Pheng"This whimsical collection evinces fascinating sleights of hand in its metaphoric associations. Ng distinguishes himself with a wide-ranging erudition and cultural acumen, invoking the arcana of every field from mythology to mathematics, literature to kinesiology, to make his subtle observations about the intricacies of urban culture and the nature of contemporary relationships. Wit and irony abound, as the poet displays his dexterity in word-play, whether this assumes the form of puns, alliteration, exploration of semantics and etymology, orthe sheer delight that comes from wildly original conjugations of imagery and conceits. In each, the leitmotifs take dazzling flight before landing on an epiphanic coda. Read and be bowled over."- Dr K K Seet"These are poems at their most omnivorous, with a glorious appetite for myth, history, philosophy, etymology. Ng Yi-sheng's debut collection is ambitious and daring. At its best, the voice in his poems belongs to a godling born under a mischievous star."- Alfian Sa'at"At last, here comes a feral fabulist to free us from the lyrical realism and postured rhetoric that have dominated our poetry for so long: To Ng and his peers, we may soon owe the future of our literature. I have not come across such restless, imaginative verse in a first collection for years. More please!"-Alvin PangWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
