Description

Roadkill for Beginners is Stephanie Chan’s first collection of poetry. It’s part scrapbook of love letters to places, part field guide to the people in them. It’s a messy celebration of open mics, bonfires, and poetry stages around the world, the connections that grow up around them and the adventures that happen after. It explores desire, moving, belonging, and everything in between. It’s got apocalyptic hawker centres, magical night bus rides, and hungry turkey vultures. It’s about growing up, and not. For you, it hopes to feel like the lyrical equivalent of spooning in strange buildings then flying at full speed down a steep empty road on a bike at two in the morning."Roadkill for Beginners isn’t just a kickass spoken word collection; it’s a vital memoir that charts the path of a queer cosmopolitan Singaporean, shifting from city to city, caught between culture wars and radical politics, finding herself, discovering her own voice." --Ng Yi-Sheng, author, playwright, activist, Singapore Literature Prize Winner (Poetry) 2008"A wry, heartfelt collection that hides its vulnerability beneath a sardonic exterior. Whether dissecting her schooldays in Singapore or her adventures abroad, Stephanie Dogfoot remains clear-eyed and quick-witted as she lays bare the beauty and ridiculousness of human existence, sparing no one including herself. An irresistible debut."-- Jeremy Tiang, author, translater Singapore Literature Prize Winner (Fiction) 2018
