Light is Like Water is a compilation of brief free-style poems that encapsulates the essence of Jennifer’s “love for the mundane and the momentary”. It’s a short and visual read that’s largely inspired by Jennifer’s Polaroid snapshots of commonplace yet, often seen as little more than transient objects.
Each page is a moving poetry in itself, often inciting the melancholic sense of déjà vu.
It makes you wish that there were more to read and see, but perhaps keeping it short and sweet was the intention of the co-authors, whose individual prefaces would be just about the longest read in the work.
Light is Like Water is a good springboard to more new ideas, especially for those readers who are out to look for inspirations.
