Jurong, My Love (chapbook)
The Substation (Singapore), 2017
“An achingly beautiful essay that uses the route of the 99 Bus to chart a personal and historical journey. ...the writing is stunning and tender, fierce and lilting all at once...a sharp look at how urban planning can affect the body walking in space and how different aspects of our selves are disciplined both culturally and socially.”
– Pooja Nansi, poet, ‘Love is an Empty Barstool’
