The Black Cheongsam

By MS Michelle Leong

The Black Cheongsam encompasses 56 poems and is the author's maiden publication. The book was self-published with each poem accompanied by an illustration. She says, "The Black Cheongsam encapsulates the raw emotions observed of the never-ending drama in the relationships between lovers. A far cry from fairy-tales read to little girls at bedtime, my words- poetry in motion- speak of this reality." She aspires for The Black Cheongsam to be of "presence", an ally when the heart seeks a reason, to make sense of the emotions evoked during the course of a relationship. "Your poems are about matters of universal interest with which many readers will be able to identify, and are enhanced by the interesting array of attractive drawings"- The British Library, London (2014).
