摘要：‘When the ‘Other’ Speaks’ is my first collection of published poems written to depict the voice of the oppressed and marginalised people living on this earth. Travellers who feel the whole universe is theirs, children who do not understand killing, those who are denied the right to move and live where they feel secure, and language and discourse that keep failing us to say exactly what we need to say, and more than often used to make invisible the real face of oppression, - all have the common theme of the eternal desire of the ‘muted’ to speak. I wish my readers would engage with these poems away from all ideology thinking and dogma; but with the inspiration of diaspora and nomadism. Above all, I wish to create, through those poems, moments of differentiation and negotiation between what we and others believe.
