Eating your vegetables. Listening to ghost stories. Navigating schoolyard politics.
Small Droll Things draws inspiration from Robert Schumann’s Kinderszenen to trace how a child comes to apprehend the beauty and brutality of everyday existence. Moving through crystalline poems towards a haunting prose coda, this suite of thirteen lyric pieces offers a rare and quietly unsettling mediation on growing up in Singapore.
