LAUNCH: "Sample and Loop: A Simple History of Singaporeans in America" by Jee Leong Koh, with Andrew Kirkrose Devadason, Anurak Saelaow, and Izyanti Asa’ari

  • Book Bar 57 Duxton Road Singapore, 089521 Singapore (map)

A new Canterbury Tales for our time, Sample and Loop, by Jee Leong Koh, tells the story of the migration of Singaporeans to the United States of America, rendering the surprising trajectory of lived experience in musical verse. According to the Straits Times: “Sample And Loop sees Koh create a form that feels unique and accommodates the world of diasporic feeling in its roaming, roving expansiveness.” Andrew Kirkrose Devadason, Anurak Saelaow, and Izyanti Asa’ari join Koh in reading from the new collection and from their own work.
