Information About
starting from Middle East, and following her journeys, the remaining poems take us to Thailand, China, Japan, Sri Lanka, India, America, Australia and, nearer home, Malaysia, ending finally in Singapore. There are thematic links between the 'foreign' poems and the Singaporean ones such as the feeling of alienation, even in Singapore.
