The Monsters Between Us - Thryft
The Monsters Between Us - Thryft

Vivid verse explores mastery, mortality, and justice.

"The Monsters Between Us" could be that refreshing and intellectually stimulating poetry collection you've been searching for. Its interwoven tapestry of childhood songs, Grimm's fairytales, and raw, political discourse captures a unique voice maturing against the backdrop of pop culture and societal injustices. It's more than poetry; it's a conversation starter that might just echo your thoughts on the complex narratives of power and vulnerability.

Note: 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.

Description

In his debut poetry collection, Jason Wee returns to ‘1987’, the installation work he first introduced to art audiences at the first Singapore Biennale in 2006.

The monsters Wee renders are present creatures, some cruelly alive, each shadowed by a long tail of mastery and mortality. With interlocking sequences, Wee shifts from Grimm’s stories to the small frail species among us, arriving at the volume’s central sequence, “Unreliable Evidence”. Composed from newsprint, detainee reports, speech transcripts and redacted accounts, this bravura sequence is suffused with the songs of childhood and the anger of unaccounted injustices. We watch and listen to a voice come of age in a time of great superhero comics and romcom movies, pop music and primary schools.
