• 這不是一本詩集，這是一間藏在漢字裡的密室。一首詩，如果注定被「誤解」，那便是它最美的命運。洪秋延以字為經，以情為緯，織出一部寫給漢語的現代詠嘆調。
  
  
• 以「誤解」為美，擁抱詩的自由，呼應作者在自序中的寫作理念－詩的命運本該是被誤解。在「誤解」中體悟文字的不可控與靈性，是作者面對讀者困惑時的一種溫柔回應。本書顛覆傳統閱讀的期待，讀者只需「讓想像發芽，讓誤解成林」。
  
  
• 三百餘首極短詩，構成當代最完整的「誤解字典」。突破漢字邊界，重構一份私人的語言檔案。字是入口，詩是出口－每首集中表達一個字的意象與情緒，形成情感與語言的藝術。
  
  
• 從「說文解字」到「解字成詩」——作者反轉傳統邏輯，不以「字典」方式教讀者理解字，而以「詩」的方式展現對字的誤讀、誤愛與「誤入歧途」。每個漢字都是一件「考古碎片」，在詩人手中拼貼成獨屬於21世紀的「字的情書」。

內容簡介

　　311，不僅是古老詩典的餘響，也是這本詩集與漢字共舞的長歌。全書以「解」漢字為主軸，此外還「解」了漢語的標點符號和筆畫等，內容遊走於見與不見的夢與現實之中。作者主要透過拆形、拆意、拆神和諧音等解構方式，為伴隨其成長的漢字執行了一場淋漓暢快的解剖行動，並把拆卸下來的各種原材料，如部首、筆畫、字中字和形狀等，隨心所欲串聯起來，將之編織成一首詩、一段哲思或記憶裡的一個畫面。作者以其短小精簡的筆觸捕捉了自己對過去、現在與未來的感動、遺憾、思索與想像，為平素過度使用或鮮少使用而以致近乎麻木無感的文字符號帶來另一種解讀的可能和情趣，為讀者提供了無限的想像空間。

詩人自介

　　洪秋延，國大中文系碩士畢業。著有《失戀公園》（新加坡：草根書室，1997）。現廁身國際學校母語部，無為。早年當過幾年記者，或緣於名字少了陽剛味，傾向中性或女性化，偶有讀者來函以「Miss Ang 」女性稱呼，而我也無意予以糾正，非有心欺瞞，只是順水推舟，成全一個美麗的誤解而已。我們都在以各自的方式誤解對方，誤解著這世界。是男是女？是人是物？是實是虛？相逢何必得相知？轉身，皆偶然，皆過客也。

• 　　寫給漢字的情詩，恍如一篇篇拆字解謎遊戲。
  　　放下為人師表的拘謹，釋放文藝頑童的狂想。
  　　誤解亂讀，勾勒出充滿玩興的「解字說文」。
  　　一撇一捺皆可入詩，標點符號終於成為主角。
  　　一字字從文本中逃離跳脫，一筆一劃一世界。
  ——黃匡寧　職業寫手、旅遊作者、美食部落客；著有《台灣筆記》、《北風呼嘯的日子》等
  
  
• 《字裡藏詩，詩中藏人：〈誤解〉的解字之旅
  
  　　在這個快節奏的時代，還有人願意靜下心來，與一枚字對坐，與一個偏旁一筆一劃地對話，甚至用三百一十一首詩，向文字致以長情的凝視。這位晚輩，即將出版他的新書《誤解》，副題是：「一本寫給漢字的情書」。讀到這裡，你大概會知道，這是一本既詩，也是書的作品。
  　　他選了「311」這個數字，向《詩經》致敬。而這份敬意，並不是淺淺的模仿，而是深深地體認：如若詩為風骨，字便是血脈。他將詩意鍛造到字形，將思緒隱藏在筆畫的鋒芒與空隙之中，一如他所說，任人「誤解」，反倒是創作的另一重樂趣。
  　　我看過他的創作圖解，像是一套通靈的筆記，既是創作的地圖，也是一場文字煉金的旅程。他的詩，有著如意象的建築，也像一枚枚炸彈，安放在漢字的縫隙裡，等你去觸發。
  　　例如他寫《入》字，以一個浪頭為圖騰，將末世海嘯與「相遇的樂園」並置，將奔赴與不掉頭的「為人」藏入「入」字之形－－將一字寫成一場傾覆，也是一種歸宿。這樣的詩，既講漢字的構造之美，也講人的姿態，寫得極有「品」。
  　　「文字的品」，是他的起點，不是終點。他不願讓文字成為陳列在櫥窗裡的器物，而是要它們復活、遊動、掙脫訓詂，重新成為可以被愛、被誤解的存在。
  　　這不是一本教你識字的書，而是一本讓你重新「讀」、重新「入字」、重新「為人」的詩集。每一次翻頁，都是一次潛入，一次翻滾，一次與你自己靈魂的重逢。
  ——劉汶錝，資深媒體人，前《優1週》主編
  
  
• 　　人如書名，秋延本身就是一個很容易被別人誤解的人。由於他健碩的肌肉，大家都直覺他是個莽夫，殊不知在魁梧的身體裡，住的其實是個不願長大的小孩。
  　　他寫詩，就好像小孩拼砌積木，推倒原有的、重組自己的，讓人讀了，才發現原來文字這麼好玩。
  　　他被誤解不是命運；那是他的天賦。
  ——Sam Ng，資深媒體人，前《優1週》編輯
  
  
• 　　非常明顯詩人是個精神簡約派。且不僅是文字上的簡約主義，是那種雖在都市裡卻悄悄維護一處保有距離的明淨方寸。理性與感性免不了相互攪動，卻總能安靜沉澱。詩題僅一字，再動蕩的情感最終還是工整的。初時乍看，其詩有點似包浩斯般的顯著棱角，但其實詩人就巧妙地把情感藏在這些棱角裡。藏得極好，一片窗明幾淨，只待月色鋪下來，才發現桌面下壓著全是他心裡澎湃湧動的字。
  ——吳偉才，1951年出生本地作家及畫家；著書27部，有遊記《背包走天涯系列》及《感悟小說系列》等

• 初版售罄，讀者迴響催生簡體版——《我獅城，我街道》繁體版問世以來，廣受許多讀者支持與關注。本書以散文、詩歌梳理新加坡的前世與今生，串聯起語言、族群、空間與記憶，構築了一條條既私密又公共的敘述路徑。初版已於發行後迅速售罄。簡體版既是為了回應讀者的閱讀需求，也希望藉此讓獅城的街道與地方故事，在更廣泛的語境中延續與傳播。
  
  
• 寫在街道之後——簡體再版，並非終點，而是一種重新走入記憶中街道的方法。除保留原貌外，簡體版新增主編跋文。主編在總結初版迴響的同時，也給未來留下一點餘白，這不是結束，而是一種「整理與繼續」，畢竟還有更多的路口等待我們轉身。
  
  
• 回顧三代作家的書寫軌跡，他們以詩與散文描摹「我」的新加坡經驗。
  
  
• 甘榜、組屋、巷弄、集市、商場……這些不僅是地理名詞，更是日常生活中的感官觸點與情感座標。在語言切換與身分交會的背景下，作者們以個體經驗回應歷史轉折，用回憶描繪一幅幅已消失或正在消逝的地景。這些文字，不只是私人敘述，更是一座城市如何被感知、被想像、被理解的方式。

內容簡介

　　《我獅城，我街道》是一本關心新加坡街道與地方「故事」、「記憶」與「生活」的文集。《獅》收錄了新加坡三個世代、廿六位作家，對於街道故事和地方書寫的全新創作，各自以詩與散文刻畫出新加坡的往昔、現在與未來。

　　《獅》的作家有霸氣地把大坡小坡寫透透的周維介，有在小印度拜師學藝的黃子明，有寫黑街舊事的吳偉才，有沿著盒巴巴耶禮峇路來回走的潘正鐳，有回憶和展望死人街的何志良與林方偉，有致柏提路一帶猴子與貓們的歐筱佩，有寫日日上班必經之路的蔡欣洵，有寫不存在的「登百靈坊」的楊薇薇等。

　　有人說，過了三代後，一個人活著的所有痕跡就會隨之消失與被遺忘，那一座年輕的城邦、島國或城市呢？看新加坡的嬗變與蛻變時，除了開啟「緬懷」（nostalgia）模式外，你我曾經生活的每一個「當下」與「來時路」都值得透過文字保留一下，作為一份給自己與後人的饋贈。

　　本書附主編汪來昇的新跋〈心之所向〉，回顧編書的緣起、讀者互動與文化傳播的各種奇妙路徑——若繁體版是讓新加坡走出國門，那簡體版則是溫柔地回歸故土。

　　感謝所有為此書留下文字與影像的作者與讀者，你們讓獅城的輪廓，不只存於地圖，也在記憶與文字裡活著。希望更多人開始關心「獅城」的人文地理與文學，同時，也有更多地方書寫的文學創作湧現。

• 融合人文与历史观察：相较第一辑的《我狮城，我街道》，主要以个人童年生活经验为主轴，《我狮城，我街道2》的人文视野更广阔，书写得更深入本辑更进一步探索历史缝隙和更多新旧街区，将土地记忆延展至族群、建筑、迁徙等多重维度，体现书写者对空间和历史的细腻体察与深化理解。《狮2》为读者提供的不仅是记忆，同时是一本拥有文学感与人文厚度的文集。
  
  
• 地景是人文记忆的声纹：若将“街道”与“地方”当成是“记忆的场所”，叩问人、土地、历史与身份的刻写，不论是土生土长的居民、新移民甚至外来的异乡人，每一道记忆、每一种生活都是牵引着彼此的时空联动。本辑的每一则故事、微观叙事，都能让我们听见历史、人文和生活的清晰脉搏。
  
  
• 社会的多元拼图与日常路径：本辑不作一味怀旧、也并非打卡地标，而是标记这座城市的日常感受与你我的身影。如在战时记忆与火山岩缝间，倾听昭南忠灵塔与精金石低语般的历史回响；在跨性别与榕树下，目送一座街区的笑语与隐痛；在香料气息与店屋遗迹背后，追想谢安祥创业拓土的轨迹与南洋商贸旧梦；在缶窑这一古老地名中，爬梳田野，复写被遗忘的地景和生态历史等……桩桩件件都横跨时空与今日形成互动，让过去、现在与未来形成互文和期待。
  

内容简介

　　《我狮城，我街道2》共收录二十九篇散文，卅位作者（其中一篇由夫妻档合著）书写了更长的时间跨度、人文地理风貌，并承接了热度不减的《我狮城，我街道》，持续关心新加坡的地方故事、个人记忆与生活。

　　其中，中峇鲁的一颗“铁球”如何横跨时间，巧妙地传承了两代人的记忆；安德逊路、苏菲雅路与盛港，如何因学府而改变了人文地理的风貌，造福一方水土；我们该如何透过日常散步去感受新加坡河与安祥山；哼着过番歌，几代人如何在加冷河畔为生计辛勤付出；“阿裕尼十楼”半世纪有余的发展，如何承载那令人回味无穷的时光；勿洛北和高文的色香味俱全，如何让人食指大动、流连忘返；武吉巴督如何以魔幻写实的方式呈现人文历史；裕廊西与实龙岗北，又如何去见证本地陶窑的兴衰与蜕变等。

　　愿我们深深眷恋的这片土地和生活，历久弥新，继续焕发人文的光彩。

About Aerial Roots

Aerial Roots is a poetry collection that meditates on the liminal space of displacement and settlement, arrivals and departures, uprootedness, and assimilation. It is between these hybrid shifts of time and place, of bilocation, that diasporic writers dwell for most of their lives. 

Visualising the ongoing narratives as akin to the banyan tree and its allegorical roots, the poems revisit the vast canvas of memory, places, and lived experiences. This collection negotiates and interrogates the complex issues of identity, ethnicity, belonging, heritage, and multiple homes to know where and what home is. 

About Shilpa Dikshit Thapliyal

Shilpa Dikshit Thapliyal is an Indian-Singaporean poet and author of two poetry collections. Her work has appeared in the Practice Research & Tangential Activities (PR&TA) Journal, Quarterly Literary Review Singapore, The Best Asian Poetry, The Yearbook of Indian Poetry in English, Trivium, Little Things, to let the light in, Anima Methodi, and elsewhere. 

Poems from her previous collection Between Sips of Masala Chai (Kitaab International, 2019) have been selected for secondary school curriculum in Singapore. Her poem, ‘Hymn of Hope’, written during the pandemic for the Homeward project, was performed by the Carnegie Mellon Philharmonic Orchestra. Some of her poems have been translated into Japanese, Spanish, and Chinese Ink-Art. 

Her poems have been nominated for the Best of the Net and Pushcart Prize and awarded second place in The Letter Review Prize, 2022. Her third collection, Aerial Roots, was awarded The Letter Review Prize for Unpublished Books, 2024. She has read poetry at the Singapore Writers Festival, the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival, Mumbai, Poetry on the Move, Canberra, The RevTen Radio, USA, and the Festival of Friendship (Revolution of Tenderness, USA).

Shilpa has adjudicated several poetry competitions including the National Poetry Competition, the CLASS Poetry Competition, the National Poetry Recitation Competition, and the Write and Burn Spoken Word Competition. Shilpa serves on the organising committee of Poetry Festival Singapore as a poet and literary organiser.

Born and raised in India, Shilpa completed her Master's in Computer Management (MCM) from Symbiosis Institute of Computer Studies and Research, Symbiosis University, Pune. She worked in a leading IT services company before relocating to Singapore in 2001. She has recently completed her second Master's, M.A. (Arts) from the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Shilpa resides in Singapore with her family.

Recommendations/Blurbs

These poems take us to the minutiae of the author’s beloved landscapes, familiar haunts and remembered neighbourhoods, but a new, rich tapestry of sights and sounds; of ethnic variety and riches. This is food for the soul; part of a significant journey of discovery, recall and recovery, a traveller’s recognition of how nature’s beneficence is a palpable blessing no matter where one is in the world.

 — Anne Lee Tzu Pheng

Tender. Present. Generous. Dignified. Shilpa Dikshit Thapliyal’s Aerial Roots is a deeply contemplative collection, intelligent and lustrous in its surfacing of rich feeling and authenticity. Perambulating around the banyan tree are poems laced in heavy symbolism. Threaded through are astonishingly beautiful images and sounds. The confessional moments meander their way confidently through verse, from the ghazal and haibun to prose poem. One becomes witness to a fondness—of memory, of nostalgia. Wait for the beautiful epiphanies, even as time and space remain suspended in this alluring lyric imagination. One encounters a poetry that bravely looks at ideas of identity, border crossings, diaspora, heritage, tradition, community, family, and what it means to belong. Indeed, this is a welcome homecoming for the author, and what a grand tour of a life’s journeying it has been. Sublime. Remarkable. Simply magnificent.

— Desmond Francis Xavier Kon Zhicheng-Mingdé
Winner of the Singapore Literature Prize

Shilpa's poetry traces how shifting light, from "coppered dawn" to "a sundown mist [descending] on the ghats," illuminates the tender narrative of a family in transition. The play between natural radiance and urban gleam becomes an objective correlative for the immigrant clan's own metamorphosis. Each poem distills the complex emotions of leaving and arriving, of roots seeking new soil while branches reach toward changed skies.

—Eric Tinsay Valles, poet, editor and educator

Shilpa's is a voice that is at once intelligent and humane. Her work is dynamic and beautifully paced—a culturally rich and sensually stimulating experience that is, quite simply, a joy to read.

— Kita Das, Ol James
The Letter Review

Shilpa has beautifully meshed the world she grew up in and with the world she currently calls home. She draws parallels between her childhood by recalling memories of Little India and her Amma, and finds joy in how technology keeps the family together internationally. This collection of poems invites the reader into her world of duality, through her thoughtfully crafted words.

— Latha
Writer

Through richly evocative language and a keen eye for botanical metaphors, Shilpa embarks on a poignant exploration of movement and displacement, love and belonging, and the liminal spaces between migration and settlement. Buttressed by her transnational sensibilities, the personal and the universal entwine in her poetry, serving as a living, breathing testament to the intricate connections between place, identity, and the human experience. Like seeds that grow into mighty banyan trees, Shilpa's poems weave a tapestry of interwoven perspectives, akin to a reticulated network of aerial roots—one which branches out into a forest of reflection and imagination that takes root in the reader's mind.

— Ow Yeong Wai Kit
Educator and Poet  

These poems are lush with images and symbols from the two countries/cultures Shilpa deftly inhabits, her original home in India and the new in Singapore where she now lives. The diction reflects this reality,  the English enriched with untranslatable words from the mother country and allusions ( people, places, birds, trees etc), pointing to a restless, assimilative mind journeying to seek identities, roots, and loops in her rich past and present.
 
A cornucopia of poetry.

— Robert Yeo
 Poet and Playwright

Aerial Roots is a heartfelt homage to memories of the poet’s time spent in India, her country of origin. Set under the metaphoric, awning leitmotif of the banyan tree, Thapliyal’s poems offer the reader a universe with hidden windows that open unto an “undergrowth of decades”. One unlocks new meanings every time one enters her work. The poems speak of dislocation, migration, identity or the loss of it, and of the untethered state of our being, while also being contained within exquisite, precise language. The poet has a remarkable ability to draw connections between the personal and the cosmic, the present and the past, longing and reality. Her work is tender, incisive, clear-sighted and deeply intimate, replete with “stains and spills of plump memories”. Her poetry stuns us, wounds us, keeps us warm, while being unapologetically her own. The poems display amazing manoeuvring of the terrain of the page and the mind - a gentle flow, akin to a river’s graceful swirl on its journey. The memories shared with us are mesmerising and quintessentially, culturally, charmingly Indian. Indeed her poems hold “… lamps to moonless skies”. The collection is a milestone written on the existential nuances of life. Every line, an “aperture for departure”.

About the Book

Eros doesn’t believe in love—despite being named after the god of it. All he wants is the lead role in The Enchanted Stream. But when Zach, a maddening stranger, wrecks his audition, Eros swears he’ll never forgive him. Then fate hands him a second chance… and Zach as his rehearsal partner.

Now, every line they rehearse blurs into something dangerous—something that feels nothing like hate. Is it just stage chemistry, or has Eros finally met his match in more ways than one?

About the Book

Noah’s life takes a wild turn when Adam—his supposed boyfriend from the future—shows up out of nowhere. The grumpy and reckless Adam does not know that they are a thing and hates him for his guts, giving Noah an uphill task of winning him over.

Worse, Adam can’t control his unstable time-travel powers, putting himself in danger at every turn. But Noah has seen the Adam beneath the chaos in the future versions of him—the one who will someday love him—and he’s determined to protect him until that future finally comes true.

內容簡介

　　《讓你的心住在愛之中，住在寬恕之中》是一部療愈心靈的智慧之書，仿若一盞明燈，照亮讀者生命的每一個角落。全書圍繞“愛”與“寬恕”兩大主題，循序漸進地引領讀者踏上一場內心的深度探索與療愈之旅。 
　　全書分爲五個章節，深入探討家庭、婚姻、抑鬱症、生命的真相以及寬恕的力量。書中不僅揭示了親子教育與婚姻關係的真諦，更深入剖析了抑鬱症的根源，以及人類靈魂深處的孤寂。它以溫暖的語言喚醒人們的內在力量，引導我們在生活的風雨中找到內心的寧靜與自由。
　　這不僅是一本對愛的禮讚，更是一場靈魂的覺醒之旅。它啓示我們，無論生活多麼困頓，唯有愛能療愈傷痛，唯有寬恕能擁抱過往。生命的意義不在於執着，而在於學會接納與釋懷。唯有當我們用愛與寬恕填滿心靈深處的空白，靈魂才能最終與光明相融。

　　以爱的光明，来温暖你的心灵。以宽恕的温暖，来唤醒你灵魂深处的爱。
　　拥有一颗真实不隐藏的心，一颗温暖利他的心，不论外界纷杂，你都是纯洁的。
　　爱并不是你爱我、我爱你，不是被美丑、富穷影响的执著妄想，不是强迫自己去「爱」。
　　没有指责、没有否定，只有宽恕与温暖，只有接纳与爱。
　　痛苦是如何产生的？当内心的诉求，得不到满足之时，所以你的看见，是在心中，而不是眼中。
 
　　人生有很多痛苦与无奈，很多想得而不可得，先做回真实的心吧，想反抗就反抗，不要扭曲自己的灵魂，唯有心安理得，平心静气的心，才具有宽恕的能力。
 
　　让《你只是爱，爱之中，一无所缺》这本全彩精装绘本漫画，用温暖的色调与笔触，生动的图像与对话，疗愈每颗受伤的心灵，陪伴你继续前行。

This booklet brings together the original English works from Streets & Places of Singapore Volumes 1 and 2. The two anthologies were envisioned as a way of mapping Singapore through literature—capturing how streets and places carry history, memory, and imagination. Published in Chinese, they highlight the city as seen through the lens of Chinese literary expression, while also embracing works that were first written in English and lovingly translated into Chinese.

　　《我狮城，我街道》系列以“街道与记忆”为主题，从文学视角描绘新加坡的城市肌理、人文地景与生活日常。两册作品共汇聚五十多位作家的诗与散文，串联语言、族群、空间与记忆，构筑出属于狮城的文学地图。

《我獅城，我街道》
　　本书收录新加坡三代、二十六位作家的原创作品，以诗歌与散文书写街道与地方的故事、记忆与生活。有书写大坡小坡的周维介、小印度学艺的黄子明、描绘黑街旧事的吴伟才、漫步耶礼峇路的潘正镭、回望死人街的何志良与林方伟、记录上班日常的蔡欣洵，以及虚构“登百灵坊”的杨薇薇等。
　　书中不仅是一场文学漫步，更是一份留给城市与读者的“记忆档案”。主编汪来昇于〈心之所向〉中回顾了编书缘起与传播历程——若繁体版是让狮城走向世界，简体版则是温柔地回归故土。

《我獅城，我街道２》
　　延续第一册的精神与热度，本书收录三十位作者的二十九篇散文，书写更宽广的时间与地理幅度，继续关注新加坡的地方故事与生活痕迹。
　　从中峇鲁一颗“铁球”的跨世记忆，到安德逊路、苏菲雅路与盛港的人文变迁；从新加坡河与安祥山的静谧步行，到加冷河畔的劳动与歌声；从“阿裕尼十楼”的半世纪风华，到勿洛北与高文的烟火气、武吉巴督的魔幻写实、裕廊西与实龙岗北的陶窑兴衰——每一篇都以文字留住生活的温度。

　　愿我们深深爱着的这片土地与日常，历久弥新，继续闪耀人文的光彩。

特别附赠：英译版选集 —— Streets & Places of Singapore 1 & 2: Works originally written in English
　　此小册精选两册中原以英文创作的作品，完整收录英文本，展现文学跨语言的对话与文化交流之美。
