About Poetry Utopia
In the realm of poetry, time and space converge to form a unique dimension where life takes on countless shapes and colors. Chuah Soon Soon's Poetry Utopia opens the door to this enchanting world, where emotions bloom in unexpected ways—grief unfolds into delicate petals, desire transforms into elusive beings, and the ordinary becomes extraordinary. In this collection, Chuah crafts poems of quiet yet profound depth, inviting readers on a journey through the landscapes of imagination. Through Poetry Utopia, poetry transcends the written word, offering a sanctuary where time pauses, boundaries blur, and the soul finds peace in the beauty of expression.

出版物簡介
詩歌，是平行的另一個時空。在這個空間裡，人生得以不同的形式投射——悲痛可以長成花；渴望可以穿過任意門變成青蛙。蔡欣洵的詩集《詩托邦》，把過去幾年間對於生命的透徹、美好與不美好，歷練成冷靜卻有力量的長詩、短詩、截句等形式，呈現一幕幕視覺景象，讓人生在詩歌的時空裡構建成一座「詩托邦」。
