Tak Tun, Abdul Ghaffar Ibrahim’s (AGI) second volume, securely establishes him as one of the major contemporary Malaysian poets. This volume extends and broaden the TRI-V (verbal, vocal and visual) traits featured in his books of poetry My Lord Moon Kite, That’s That, Never Vanish - a willingness to experiment with form and language, humour, paradox and empathy - with deeper maturity and greater self assurance.

Established AGI may be, but he is certainly not of the establishment: these poems will shock, amaze and delight their reader.
