Compare to estimated retail price: ₱784.80 PHP  

Evocative poems celebrating life's simplicity.

Little Things offers an intimate experience through poetry—like a lens it magnifies the often overlooked, yet profoundly beautiful moments of daily life. It's a quiet companion that speaks to the soul, encouraging readers to pause and appreciate the mundane, which as these poems reveal, is where magic truly lies.

Description

Catching crickets after school, waiting for class to end, playing with lanterns during Mid-Autumn festival, observing one’s grandfather cut his nails, watching the rain and the world go by – these are some of the little things that the poems in this anthology explore. In this selection of more than 80 poems from Singapore and around the world, poets look afresh at things mundane and universal, from birth to growing up and first love to old age and death. Works by established Singapore poets such as Boey Kim Cheng, Lee Tzu Pheng, Arthur Yap, and Cyril Wong, as well as well-known international poets such as e. e. cummings, Billy Collins, Derek Walcott, and Raymond Carver, are set alongside poems by younger published poets such as Joshua Ip, Teng Qian Xi, and Theophilus Kwek, along with previously unpublished poems in this refreshing anthology. Arranged in six broad sections – Little Things, Growing Up, People Around Us, Going Places, Love and Loss, and On Words – this anthology will appeal to readers both young and old with poems that are quirky, delightful, sad, and reflective. A teachers' guide is also available: Teaching Poetry to Adolescents: A Teachers’ Guide to Little Things.
