The poems are imagistic statements of the natural and peopled landscape, which illuminate and comment on aspects of everyday life in Singapore. “One of Yap’s main areas of development has been in his use of ‘dramatic forms’ in which Singaporean voices are played off, almost musically, against each other. Yap’s poetry continues to yield the fruits of close, intelligent observation and delicacy of treatment. His verse never shouts, but continually compels attention.” Bruce Bennett Routledge Encyclopaedia of Post-Colonial Literature in English. Very Good/No Dust Jacket.
