Poetry Shortlist

parsetreeforestfire

parsetreeforestfire is a bilingual book of poetry with Singlish occupying one side of the book, and English on the other. Conventionally such a format allows the reader to learn a new language, but it remains to be seen if translation has successfully occurred, or if the book teaches readers to speak either language. parsetreeforestfire is the product of scrutiny on the languages that poetry is written in.
