Circle Line

Circular journeys, metaphorical reflections, life's intersections.

If you’re someone who sees poetry in the mundane rhythms of life, "Circle Line" could offer you a profound experience. Theophilus Kwek masterfully uses the familiar loop of a train line to delve into the introspective musings that accompany our everyday journeys, making you ponder the cyclical nature of life in a fresh way. This book might just change the way you reflect on your daily commutes.

Description

Ultimately pragmatic—and yet a contradiction in terms—the 'Circle Line' is a daily metaphor for journeys that take us back to the same place: but not quite. Again and again, and differently each time, every stop becomes a starting-point for us to consider what happens when our circles align, or when our lines, as in these pages, come full circle.
