It is a poetic call to arms. This book rocked Singapore literature upon its publication, winning the Singapore Literature Prize in English Poetry in 2020 and making Tan the first woman to earn the nation’s premier English-language poetry prize. Excerpt from "Nasi Kang Kang" the idea is witchcraft comes naturally to women but which witch women
