Reviews
It seems odd – or it seems odd to me – that a volume of verse like Gwee Li Sui’s selection of poems and original illustrations, The Other Merlion And Friends, should answer so serious and fundamental a question as “Why do I love poetry?” But it does, and there it is, the truth: fizzy and slightly dizzying, like a secret sip of chilled champagne when you were seven.

From Goodreads
This is hilarious and hits out with a strong punch at what can be so obvious and yet be overlooked by many of us living in Singapore. Gwee Li Sui has a witty perspective to seemingly ordinary living. His wisdom is profound!
