Afterimage: an image that continues to appear even after the original has ceased. Werner Kho’s debut poetry collection is both personal and yet universal, an exploration of the process of loss and how our they come back to us in every different angle.
Werner Kho's debut book of poems is short and sweet, and sweetly honest. It is packed with earnest and acute modes of thinking about the fading of experience and sensory reality. Of placement and relational ability. Of the persistence of ghosts. There is a blend of the abstract and concrete in these poems that is worth several dives.
