Poems by Qamar Firdaus Saini

“The everyday is peeled open in search of the numinous within.”—Anne Lee Tzu Pheng

Dear listener: this book was made like an album, with seven tracks that move through memory, loss, states of devotion—but it also sweeps across the mind like a bittersweet symphony, with seven movements written across a near decade, charting memories made in beds shared and left, situated in Singapore, in Australia, and always from the body.

everything you carry is prayer is Qamar Firdaus Saini’s debut collection, and is held together by recurring themes: grief and grace, rupture and ritual, belonging and belief. These poems were made with care: for silence, for resonance, for what the body cannot always say aloud. They move between faiths, inheritances, and forms of prayer. You can drop the needle anywhere and tap into a quieter kind of ache.

  • (b. 1985) writes to remember. His poems move through the body—through touch, memory, and belief—where love and prayer are often indistinguishable. His work has appeared in Cordite Poetry Review, Quarterly Literary Review Singapore, and in anthologies and commissions with institutions including the National Gallery Singapore and the Singapore Art Museum. He is a member of ATOM, a writing collective, and is based in Singapore. He listens, often, to post-rock.
