A polysemic portal into community. It is “hey”, “no”, “yes”; it hails, it invites, it warns, it cajoles, it pleads, it loves. Just like Shivram Gopinath’s Dey: a cross-genre, multi- tongued celebration of diasporic desire, complaint and joy that stretches what poetry can be. Part translation, part illustration, part verse, Dey is a love child of Tamil cinema tropes and themes, Singaporean hopes and dreams. A discordant soundtrack to migrant identity, an invitation to a language game, a retort to power. Rajinikanth, Lee Kuan Yew, durian fish soup fight for your eyeballs. A thick syrupy mix, that’s what. Dey, read it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ethos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41990869876771,"sku":"9789811753992","price":24.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2514\/8624\/files\/DSC_8268_06a9ac74-c039-458a-b809-608b1ab4246c.jpg?v=1772695372","url":"https:\/\/wardahbooks.mom\/products\/dey","provider":"Wardah Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
