95bFM's Loose Reads: Clay Eaters by Gregory Kan / by Time Out Bookstore

Gregory Kan is an Ockham shortlisted author living in Poneke who has released two acclaimed poetry collections; This Paper Boat in 2016 and Under Glass in 2019. He's also a coder who's created an incredible text manipulator called leaves.glass.

Clay Eaters is an eagerly-awaited release by Kan. This is a book of fragments- strands that tenuously link the past, present and future.

Clay Eaters explores the ephemeral nature of our corporeal bodies; spectres springing forty from decaying ends. As all turns to ash and returns to soil, new life awaits birth in the subterranean.

This is an incredible collection of poetry spanning Singapore, Poneke and the US- a perfect morsel when a novel’s too long.
