Description

Steep Tea is Singapore-born Jee Leong Koh's fifth collection and the first to be published in the UK. Koh's poems share many of the harsh and enriching circumstances of a postcolonial queer writer. They speak in a voice both colloquial and musical, aware of the infusion of various traditions and histories. Taking leaves from other poets such as Elizabeth Bishop, Eavan Boland, and Lee Tzu Pheng, amongst others, Koh's writing is forged in the known pleasures of reading, its cultures, and communities.
