You lead me through strange geographies. You say, up here the tide cannot drown our sandwiches. Es Foong's debut collection explores the strange geographies of belonging: to family, gender, culture and oneself. It ponders boundaries; the predicament of needing to assert them even as they cause pain and separation. It explores influences on identity and the fault-lines of trauma, how these are woven into our bodies. It sees the power and the possibility of the pause - as breath, silence, a poem's whitespace - and as an alternative way of being, survival and love.
