A note on book covers: while we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
This book is a compilation of some of Ng Yi-Sheng's best spoken word pieces — songs, diatribes and phantasmagorias — created for assorted poetry slams, readings, and theatrical events between 1999 and 2016. Dealing with issues of politics, history, cultural identity, and queer sexuality, these works show the writer at his most fearless, opinionated, and dramatic — a complement to the subtler but similarly imaginative poems of his first collection, Last Boy.
