WHO LET IN THE SKY?
88 pages (Published in 2012 in Singapore by Celestial, an imprint of Select Books Pte. Ltd.)
A family memoir about a son’s relationship with his father, lately Canadian and erstwhile Singaporean “literary pioneer” poet, novelist and playwright, Goh Poh Seng, who struggled with Parkinson’s disease during the last fifteen years of his life until his untimely death in 2010. Kagan Goh pays tribute to his father’s courage, his lust for life and his sheer will to survive against all odds. Goh Poh Seng, even in the face of death, was indeed a man drunk on the rage of being alive.
"Kagan Goh's intimate memoir avoids the merely sentimental and movingly speaks to us universally about human relationships which we recognize here - ambivalent love between son and father; love between husband and wife, a lifetime of love palpably captured in a moment of dance, despite the gritty reality of life's tribulations."
