About Hallucinations and Mishearings
In an era plagued by Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Ng Zheng Wei uses poetry to grapple with its effects, creating a profound dialogue between his work and the times. Ng’s collection gathers his most daring experiments, delving into the relationship between self and identity, words and time, set against a backdrop where reality and fantasy intertwine. Ultimately, the poet's desire is simple: to wake up and live consciously in this dreamlike world.
About the Writer
Ng Zhengwei (b. 1995), graduated from National University of Singapore with B.Sc. in Pharmacy and now works in the healthcare industry. He views poetry as a placebo—while it may not heal life's struggles, it can lessen the pain. Ng has won the Excellence Award for poetry at the Singapore Youth Chinese Literary Award (Singapore, 2024), and his works have been widely featured in Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. He has published two poetry collections: The Child Made of White Paper (2022) and Hallucinations and Mishearings (2024).
出版物簡介
這時代患上了「過動症」，而政瑋以詩抗衡，並在凝神思索之下，進行著一場詩與時代的深入對談。本詩集收錄了詩人更為狂放的實驗，從各種現實與虛幻交織的場景中，探討著人與自我、世界、文字和時間的關係。詩人只求一度清醒，有意識地活在這如夢似幻的人世裡。
