Too Too Too Too

by Tammy Ho Lai-Ming

Tammy Ho Lai-Ming's second poetry collection Too Too Too Too is sensual, imaginative, narrative-driven and political. Her poetic voice is at once unflinching and delicate, and has the power to be both discomforting and challenging. She combines the ethics and aesthetics of realist fiction with an exploration of the range of possibilities to create a twenty-first-century transnational poetics. These poems will inspire speculation and invite myriad interpretation.

Reviews

[Kah Seng · Rating 3 out of 5]

I find it hard to rate poetry books because I think poetry is super subjective. For me tho, this was just okay? Out of all the poems in the book, there were two that I really really liked (I took photos && reread them q a few times). I think once I come up with a better rating system I'll be able to give better ratings but for now, this is not bad! I think 4 is too much so maybe this is more of a 3.5? She wrote a lot about chinese politics which I have 0 clue about which is why I think I didn't enjoy those as much as well.
