Little Things: An Anthology of Poetry (second edition)
Catching crickets after school, waiting for class to end, playing with lanterns during Mid-Autumn festival, watching the rain and the world go by—these are some of the little things that the poems in this anthology explore.
In this updated and expanded edition of beloved poetry anthology Little Things, poets look afresh at things mundane and universal, from birth to growing up and first love to old age and death. This second edition also adds a new section Our Earth, with poems that examine environmental themes. Readers will find, within a selection of around a hundred poems from Singapore and around the world, works by established and up-and-coming Singapore poets alongside well-known international poets and previously unpublished poems.
Arranged in seven broad sections—Little Things, Growing Up, People Around Us, Going Places, Love and Loss, On Words and Our Earth—this anthology will appeal to readers both young and old with poems that are quirky, delightful, sad, reflective and timely.
