ALLTHETIME 01
Poetry • 84 pages
Published 27 Feb 2025

Poems by Rosaly Puthucheary, ArunDtiha & Zeha
With a critical introduction by Cyril Wong

“If Singapore poetry is to reflect our actual lives, not just our aspirational narratives, then rib/cage is a luminous benchmark.”—Quarterly Literary Review Singapore

Pounding beneath rib/cage is a visceral struggle for selfhood and belonging. These poems shatter through the suffocating grip of silence and constraint. These are words carved into verse as sharp as bone—voiced into the stillness of night.

Within the pages of our first ALLTHETIME folio lies a collection spanning five decades. This chorus of voices across time confront unyielding questions about alienation and autonomy, reminding us that the fight remains as fierce as ever. Let these lines take root in your breath; we dare you to recite them with your whole damn chest.

📌 rib/cage: ALLTHETIME01 by Rosaly Puthucheary, ArunDitha and Zeha is also available as an e-book at $11.99 at Kobo, Google Playand other retailers: Amazon.UK, Apple Books
