Synopsis

Singapore-born poet Boey Kim Cheng meditates on emigration and loss during a year of travelling, after leaving his native land to settle in Australia. He makes detours through India, China, Egypt and Morocco, haunted by the memories of family and vestiges of old Singapore. This travel memoir, first published in Australia in 2009, includes a brand new foreword by Boey, who migrated back to his country of birth in 2013.

“Philosophical and poetic.” — Mascara Literary Review

“Profoundly anti-conformist. One of the most imaginative contributions to the evolving, deepening and darkening corpus of Singapore literature today" — Quarterly Literary Review Singapore

"Between Stations is about travelling through India, Pakistan, North Africa and China but on a deeper level is a series of meditative essays on the subtle interplay between travel, memory, childhood, family and poetry bound together by a personal story of migration and expatriation.” —The Sydney Morning Herald
