'In his debut poetry collection, Jason Wee returns to '1987', the installation work he first introduced to art audiences at the 1st Singapore Biennale in 2006.

The monsters Wee renders are present creatures, some cruelly alive, each shadowed by a long tail of mastery and mortality. With interlocking sequences, Wee shifts from Grimm's stories to the small frail species among us, arriving at the volume's central sequence, 'Unreliable Evidence'. Composed from newsprint, detainee reports, speech transcripts and redacted accounts, this bravura sequence is suffused with the songs of childhood and the anger of unaccounted injustices. We watch and listen to a voice come of age in a time of great comics storylines and romcom movies, pop music and primary schools.' - from the back cover
