Poetry; Poetry by individual poets

Following on from Turbulence and Decadence, Essence continues Thuy On's exploration into language and broadens its reach into the arts. It strips poetry down to its core to distil moments of beauty and chaos into permanence

an exquisite collection seeking the marrow of life, love and creativity.

'This collection is ocean-hearted.'

Emilie Collyer

'Full of paeans to pop songs and cold-cut lit classics whilst taking apart the machinery of cultural criticism (and consumption), this collection also hums with a blood-red longing for connection beyond the page.'

David Stavanger

'At its heart, Thuy On's latest collection is a sassy critique of the world of art and literature and all of our earnest exertions in pursuit of this thing called Art.'

Grace Yee
