Natalie Wang is a Singaporean poet who writes about cats, ghosts, and womanhood, and maintains that they are all the same thing. Her debut collection of poetry The Woman Who Turned Into A Vending Machine is a book on womanhood and metamorphosis, and a tribute to the fox spirits and vengeful ghost women she read about as a child.
“because in this fog fugue
light comes from the flint strike
of another man’s words sparking
with the same air of a schoolboy’s glass”
