'For you and not the photographer'
Carol Chan, ‘Wedding Video, 1953’


‘but,’ Incredulity in the face of revelation. A whimsical silence. A
maturity married with naïvety and wonder. A deviation. A diversion.

Edited by Cyril Wong, this 100pg collaborative anthology is an amalgamation of poetry and prose. With contributions from previously unpublished talents as well as established names (Angeline Yap, Cyril Wong, Felix Cheong and others), it is the voice of youth poised between innocence and anticipation.

Within these covers are death (and mathematics), dreams (and boyfriends) and myths (and the love of photographs). In Wong’s voice, ‘From the double-edged campiness and theatricality of Bernard Koh’s voice to the self-assured line-breaks and philosophical asides of Sharlene Teo to Koh Tsin Yen’s engaging sense of romantic nostalgia… it is that transitioning itself which is worth examining for how the young poet leans momentously over the brink of discovering the miracle of her or his own voice’. ‘but,’ is a snapshot of conflicts, a contradiction awaiting closure, an interrupted journey, a fractious viewpoint wrapped in a sunny island wrapped in a familiar grammatical anomaly. It is also pleasantly nutty with a fresh fruity fragrance.
