Diverse Modes, a new four-part anthology of verse by author and poet Tan Kheng Yeang, presents an array of poetic styles and themes. Division One is written in ordinary free verse, while Division Two explores free verse without punctuation marks. Divisions Two and Three offer two entirely new styles created by Tan-first, poetry that uses sentences with no finite verbs and, second, amorphous verse, which appears to be the same as prose in terms of style while retaining the lyricism of poetic language. Tan’s keen sense of observation extends to everything under the sun, from the glories of nature to the wide range of human emotions. His insight extends to the very fundamental components of life and the building blocks of the universe. Indeed, the order of the universe possesses a lyricism best captured by the pen of the poet!NewsAvidity for newsScreams the loudest human trait;When one encounters anotherThey trade informationAbout their friends and acquaintancesAnd what has saluted their eyes and ears.The greatest purveyor of intelligenceIs the omnipresent newspaper Which diurnally echoes events From all corners of the globe-Earthquakes and volcanoes,Floods and droughts,Robberies and murders,Riots and wars,Actions and plans of governments ...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular.
