Description
Fifteen years ago, Koh Jee Leong left a promising career in Singapore’s Education Service to become a poet in New York City. Bite Harder: Open Letters and Close Readings tells the story of this transformative change through essays blending personal experiences with literary encounters. The book includes essays on Singapore poets like Goh Poh Seng, Cyril Wong, Yeow Kai Chai, and Justin Chin, as well as letters addressing the struggle for freedom of expression. Koh Jee Leong's unique perspective as both insider and outsider enriches these writings, making Bite Harder a significant contribution to literary essays and cultural criticism in Singapore.
