Eternal Summer Notes is a trilingual anthology of short stories, poems, essays, and translations (in English, Bahasa Malaysia, and Mandarin) inspired by the heat and humidity of Malaysia’s endless summer.
Featuring voices from Malaysia, Ukraine, Hong Kong, China, and the USA, the collection explores selfhood through the passage of time and distance, often with a touch of humour and lightness.
Born from a unique "cafe writing residency" at Pohutukawa Coffee in 2024, the anthology is a celebration of language, place, and the fleeting moments we often try to grasp before they slip away.
