　　琹涵以生活小故事牽引出一首首王維的詩來，讓現代生活與古典詩詞產生火花，擦撞出一篇篇既感性又詩意的文章，打破我們對於詩的詮釋與感受的既往印象，進而重新認識王維與他的詩作，也是一本能夠讓你細細咀嚼的書。

作者簡介

　　詩集分〈厚〉與〈重〉。〈厚〉收錄靜物（對物的書寫），閒情（情為何物），詩人（與詩人對話），地景（地景詩寫），島國（書寫新加坡），茶詩（以茶入詩）。〈重〉收錄了時間的故事（書寫時光），戀人與初戀（戀愛之惦記），人的自畫像（詩人的自述），活物質活物（眾生相），近處與遠方（旅行至遠方）。想一本詩集收錄如此多主題，真是不自量力，但也希望讀者看在如此努力用心的份上，拍掌鼓勵一二。

“We obsess about who they look like - the papa, the mama, a cousin, one or other of grandparents.

Mostly, they look like each other. Or like bugs. Or burritos.”

What does it truly mean to be a grandparent — to care for and nurture young life as you look back on your own, and experience the world afresh through their eyes?

The Art of Being a Grandmother: An Incomplete Diary of Becoming is an honest and heartfelt exploration of self — as a mother, grandmother, visual artist and writer. Following her acclaimed autobiographical play, Still Life (2019) with Checkpoint Theatre, Dana Lam invites you into her world as she chronicles the process of becoming a grandparent through her art and writings. The careful interweaving of candid, meditative journal entries with stunning watercolour and ink renderings of scenes of her daily life deftly captures the unique pleasures and challenges of grandparenthood. Poignant, tender, and funny all at once, this volume will delight readers of all ages with its warmth and wonder.

“Being a mother is, arguably, a choice for some.

Being a grandmother is a decision made for you by someone else.”

A 200-page visual journal by Dana Lam; edited by Huzir Sulaiman, with curation, design and layout by Marc Gabriel Loh.
