after a brief hiatus, singapore’s underscore magazine <\/a>has relaunched with its ‘arrival’ issue. included amongst its pages are two essays of note; one by 65daysofstatic<\/a> guitarist joe shrewsbury \u2014 a piece which in fact opens the magazine; the other i wrote to accompany some photographs i took of a post-hurricane sandy manhattan 2 years ago.<\/p>\n here’s an excerpt from the latter:<\/p>\n as i walked around captivated by the things i saw, i stopped occasionally to send messages to the internet using my phone. observations, sensations and imagery as i best i could translate into words, shivering slightly with excitement in this unkempt, eerily unfamiliar, home city of mine.<\/p>\n “brooklyn reaches out its sparkling arm of a bridge tonight, cars dripping down it. the inky towers of manhattan stare quietly back.”<\/em><\/p>\n “a family quietly opens a hydrant with all their tupperware waiting thirstily in the trunk of a car.”<\/em><\/p>\n “the occasional cab down a street reveals people on benches, talking together in the dark. shivering cigarette tips like fireflies.”<\/em><\/p>\n “expensive apartment blocks dead monoliths bathed in moonlight. candlelit windows flicker here and there, like everyone’s watching TV in sepia.”<\/em><\/p>\n and so on.<\/p>\n you can read the rest of the essay here<\/a>, and you can see the original set of photographs i took here<\/a>.<\/p>\n of course nothing compares to owning an original copy of underscore<\/em>. the latest issues is hardbound with canvas and sports a handwritten cover. if you have the means, do grab yourself a copy.<\/p>\n cheers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" after a brief hiatus, singapore’s underscore magazine has relaunched with its ‘arrival’ issue. included amongst its pages are two essays of note; one by 65daysofstatic guitarist joe shrewsbury \u2014 a piece which in fact opens the magazine; the other i wrote to accompany some photographs i took of a post-hurricane sandy manhattan 2 years ago.
