footnotes on falling is my first full-length original collection after a 5 year hiatus since making love with scrabble tiles (i'm not counting sonnets from the singlish upsize edition, which added 44 poems to the original 44 from sonnets from the singlish), and represents a shift from the light-hearted local-flavored sonnets that i'm known for. the collection brings together a grab-bag of love poems from the past five years, charting the rise and fall and picking-up-after of various relationships. i hope you like it.
you can buy it from booksactually at this link or in kino and other bookstores.
"Footnotes on Falling is as much a pensive meditation on the poet's passage through life, with all its vicissitudes, as it is a love letter to the Singaporean form. It is equal parts bitter and acceptance, love and apathy, falling and being caught."
"This is a post-UnFree Verse Joshua, seemingly more aware of his poetic prowess, and with great power comes great trollsponsibility."
