Description

Already well known as a highly skilled pioneer of the Singapore performance scene and winner of many Poetry Slam events, Marc Daniel Nair here makes his print debut with this impressive first volume, demonstrating that his best poems are just as effective on the page as on the stage. Working on a broad poetic canvas, Nair explores the meeting point of spoken rhetoric, literary irony, all the while retaining an entertainer's sense of timing and humor. Along the Yellow Line also traces the sources of his own mixed Asian parentage and his poems are often set against the backdrop of pressing global conflicts. This work, too, reflects a wide-ranging set of interests: from physics to voyeurism, goldfish to gymnasiums, computer technology to Milo addiction. Whether exploring issues of personal faith, or watching a bag of oranges spill on a moving train, Nair is always a writer who displays a deep commitment to the candid craft of poetry.
