DescriptionHear Mr Hamid Roslan (Class of 2017) read one of his poem pairs from his debut book of poetry, parsetreeforestfire.
Published in July 2019, by Ethos Books, parsetreeforestfire features a collection of poems written in Singlish, side by side with their English “translations” – in the loosest sense of the word – that contrast and juxtapose their Singlish counterparts. The book’s cover was designed by Ms Natalie Tan (Class of 2017), and Ms Teo Xiao Ting (Class of 2018), who was interning at Ethos Books, assisted in the process of producing the book.
