A gripping poem from an equally gripping collection (US: Acts of Self Consumption, 2023) by one of Singapore's most promising emerging poets.

Hao Yang shares some thoughts about war, and the role of literature in negotiating our relationship with the Other, which we should keep in mind as we consume media about human suffering in places far and wide.

Poems read:

1) W.H. Auden's The Unknown Citizen

2) 莫邪 【有一个战争在远方想我】
