My City My Canvas
A poetry collection of disparate moments and impressions in the life of a deeply meditative poet.
The poems speak with a quiet gnomic voice that is at once compelling and refreshing - this collection marks a signal development of her first, Crossing the Chopsticks.
– Arthur Yap
Heng Siok Tian looks at life and contracts in a way made familiar by Crossing the Chopsticks. But characteristic observation and comment in ‘My City, My Canvas’ are now sharper, more meditated and textured, generating a poetry whose suppleness and precision regularly take it below the surface and beyond the confines of event and experience.
