Steep Tea is Singapore-born Jee Leong Koh's fifth collection and the first to be published in the UK. Koh's poems share many of the harsh and enriching circumstances that shape the imagination of a postcolonial queer writer. They speak in a voice both colloquial and musical, aware of the infusion of various traditions and histories. Taking leaves from other poets - Elizabeth Bishop, Eavan Boland, and Lee Tzu Pheng, amongst others - Koh's writing is forged in the known pleasures of reading, its cultures and communities.
