Reviewed by PARIS ROSEMONT
Thuy On’s third poetry collection, Essence (UWA Publishing, 2025), follows on from her previous collections Turbulence and Decadence. Punctuated into three sections where even the titles are in quaint collective interplay – respectively named ‘Art’, ‘Heart’, and ‘À la carte’ – punchy wordplay enlivens On’s work with an immediacy and accessibility that makes this poetry for the people.
