Short Tongue is the Singaporean Chinese poet Wang Mun Kiat’s second collection of poetry, representing a distinct change in style from his previous work. The poems in this collection are deceptively short and seemingly simple, but they belie deep reservoirs of irony, wit and social commentary. The title, Short Tongue, hints at an ambiguity and a refusal to define oneself. You can think of each poem as a dagger — that both wounds and tickles. This bilingual edition is published in simplified Chinese and English, in hopes of bringing Wang Mun Kiat’s surprising poetry to a new audience of readers, as well as promoting exchanges between the different language literatures in Singapore.


《短舌》的黄文杰诗风转变之作，以精短凝练的文字，让读者拨云见月。顾名思义，“短舌”可指涉口齿不清、沟通障碍，无以自辩等，因此每首诗形成了它独一无二的逻辑，也变成近距离发射的飞刀——中刀时有点刺痛，却也能令人会心一笑。本次以简体华文与英文（双语对照版）出版，希望给更多的读者惊喜，以及拓展新加坡文学的多元可能与想象。
