Gwee Li Sui once again shatters expectations from his verse with this gloriously macabre book. Death Wish distils almost two decades of his personal meditations on the state of death-in-life. In a series of charged, reinventive styles, the poems bring shape to dying in monotony, love, reason, indignation, religiosity, and memory.
This collection is a striking invitation to understand our psyche’s regressive tendency towards self-destruction.
