Sudden in Youth: New and Selected Poems
Felix Cheong
Singapore: Ethos Books, 2009
ISBN: 9789810834128

Out of the mundane, a flash of lyrical. From the profane, a hint of sublime. And always, the inventive wordplay that cuts through the skin of language.

Sucking up the marrow of his life, from crisis of faith to divorce, from fatherhood to being, yes, tattooed. Voices of killers and prostitutes. Sudden in Youth: New and Selected Poems brings together the best of ten years of Felix Cheong's poetry, as well as his recent writings. Poems at once intensely personal and universal about love. God and things that matter to he heart.
