Cheng Him

Boh Beh Zhao: Poems (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Cheng Him's explosive debut poetry collection is a narrative-in-poems exploring the inner psyche of the mythical Singaporean Ah Seng, made prismatic through the lens of Buddhism and mid-2010s clubbing fervour. From the tumultuous days of his childhood to the wayward hurricane of his youth, Boh Beh Zhao charts the trajectory of someone wandering through life as though it has no beginning or conceivable end, and plots his eventual landing into the barren fields of the latter. Hop onboard Ah Seng's chaotic journey and ask yourself: what does it mean to live life so fast that all else seems to stand still?

Autorenporträt

Cheng Him (b. 1995) is from Singapore. Their work has previously been published in Strange Horizons, the Willows Wept Review, the Kindling, the Quarterly Literary Review Singapore, and the Neuro Logical, amongst a number of other publications. By a stroke of divine providence, Cheng Him was awarded an honourable mention in English Poetry for the 2023 Golden Point Award. Sadly, attempts to buy 4D and TOTO using numbers found at the award ceremony did not yield any substantial rewards. Cheng Him is descended from Cantonese, Hainanese, and Hakka migrants, from sailors, property agents, provision store proprietors at Bras Basah, and herb-drying medicine makers from Choa Chu Kang. They are nominally a Budhhist with sprinklings of Taoism, and also a graduate of Singapore Polytechnic and Yio Chu Kang Secondary School.
