Adunan cerita rakyat dan mitos dengan rencah moderniti. Bagaimana puisi mengajak kita untuk melihat semula naratif lama dengan persoalan "macam mana kalau?"
heteroglossia's review
Filled with poetry revolving around the subject of womanhood. The theme of female dissatisfaction was especially prominent: in love, the disappointment of wanting to love the emotionally unavailable or immature; in the undervalued work of caregiving and emotional labour. There is some engagement with asian & southeast asian myths & magical realism. I do think the poems got uneven at times but the arrangement aids in the flow quite significantly. Think it would have benefitted from more editing to make it tighter.

A book that just gets better and better. Natalie wang’s poetry is steeped in folklore and mythology but often with a revisionist streak. Magical realism, love and metamorphosis. Immensely readable. Will watch out for the next one.
