Description

Sonnets from the Singlish is a collection of 44 poems on love, language, and the pursuit of laughter. The poems are loosely translated from the English-based creole language colloquially spoken in Singapore, widely known as Singlish. The poems were originally composed in the sonnet form, an archaic Italian fourteen-line rhyming verse form that follows the rhythmic rules of iambic pentameter. They are most enjoyable when read out loud in a Singaporean accent.
