Flowers, Horses, Butterflies: An Evening with Cheng Him

“Cheng Him’s explosive debut poetry collection is a narrative-in-poems exploring the inner psyche of the mythical Singaporean Ah Seng, made prismatic through the lens of Buddhism and mid-2010s clubbing fervour.” – Afterimage Press

Join Cheng Him as he explores the oft-unwritten world of KTV jie jies and siam dius and asks how it might collide with culture and family. Nothing, after all, is quite what it seems.
