Steam rises from bowls of noodle soup, tender steaks are seared in butter, sand-roasted chestnuts are shared from a paper bag. Eating Air - the debut pamphlet from Suyin Du Bois - is a mouth-watering collection of poems about food, belonging and connection.
Charting a journey across cuisines and continents, these poems carve into the author's dual Chinese-Malaysian and Belgian heritage and food's enduring role in our cultural, familial and personal histories.
From the low stools of Penang's kopitiams to the bright lights of London's Chinatown, Eating Air is a love song to food and a poignant catalogue of its profound capacity to serve up memory, language, and longing.
