RAMBUTAN KISSES is a new collection of poems cover a wide range of experiences, a spectrum of emotions, tentions within, and responses to the changing world of the 21st century. The poems are set in Malaysia and often have an Indian voice to speak the universal language of poetry.

LOVE AND LOSS comprises 65 poems from Malachi Edwin Vethamani's two earlier volumes, Complicated Lives (2016) and Life Happens (2017), and some new poems, selected and introduced by Malaysian poet, Wong Phui Nam. These poems explore the theme of love. But they go beyond classic romantic love, and look at ideas of loss. Love is very close to loss. They need each other to exist.

"This collection is of poems by young poets who write with a keen of awareness of the important issues of the day. This speaks well not only of the poets themselves but also of our urban educated youth. This augurs well for our future. The poems taken together are a sign of that. -- Wong Phui Nam, Malaysian poet.

MALAYSIAN MILLENNIAL VOICES is a volume of poems by Malaysian writers aged 35 years and below. It brings together thirty-seven fresh voices in a collection of sixty-nine poems in the second decade of the twenty-first century. The poems touch on themes that range from everyday concerns to identity, growing up, dealing with the loss of parents and grandparents and political satire. Among the poets in this collection are a few who stand out and might be the future voices we can look forward to reading. These are confident emerging Malaysian voices.

"Simplicity of language and phrase-making are the hallmarks of Malachi Edwin Vethamani's poetry. Feelings, events, non-events, happenings - Life Happens as a natural course of action - and he records them with sensitivity that only an acute poet's eye and ear can do. More importantly, he explores important issues such as the complications and fractures of longing, heartbreak, exile and sexuality in Malaysian society."

-- Sudeep Sen, author of EroText and The HarperCollins Book of English Poetry

"IN PRAISE OF LIMES details Shirley Geok-lin Lim's experiences as an immigrant in America through an ecocritical lens. Her poems remind us that we have a place in an interconnected world, that the climate disaster we witness, the rage, loneliness, and confusion we feel, the struggles and hardship we share affect not only humanity but all of nature and its non-human beings. Lim's poems paint a vivid, albeit harsh, reality of her lived experience, all the while urging us to 'Wake!,'be hopeful, and take action."

-- Emily Grosholz, Professor, Department of Philosophy, Pennsylvania State University.
