The Darkside of Eden By Christina Sng ISBN 981-04-5750-2 Allegra Press, 2002
Christina Sng’s first collection takes you on a poetic journey into the dark and macabre underworld of nature where humanity’s true face will be unpeeled before you, exposing its deepest buried fears and unspoken propensities. This collection brings together the best of her poems published in 2001 and early 2002 from various North American magazines and anthologies. On the collection: “A highly recommended chapbook from an extraordinary poet of dark verse.”– Jon Hodges, writer, poet, founder of Project Pulp “The images in Pumpkin Girl were startling and perfect for Halloween, and Postwar - very poignant.” “There is a nice darkness and edge to her poems. Very gritty and sharp.” “Outstanding break-up poetry, with just the right amount of pride, bitterness and turn of the knife. Brilliant.” “This is a superb collection. I’ve got mine; get yours.” “Christina Sng is a composer of dark imaginative verse, often as beautiful as it is, well, macabre. While her distinctive work makes its way onto magazine racks now and again, Sng’s poetry graces small press periodicals beyond number. The Darkside of Eden is a collection of this prolific scribe’s work, and includes 18 poems, all but “Succubus” previously published. Devoid of interior illustration, it is, like all the Allegra titles, sturdily put together and easy-to-read, with all Ps and Qs in place. (Her poetry), by turns morose, beautiful, and mysterious, is always as dark as Jagermeister or a cup of joe not compromised by sugar or cream.”
