Short description

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.

Extended description

“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. (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.”

– Kane S. Latranz, reviewer for alt.press, alibi (Read more) “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.

– Megan J Bulloch, reviewer for The Swamp

– Tyree Campbell, editor of Aoife’s Kiss
