Jee Leong Koh is the author of Steep Tea (Carcanet), named a Best Book of the Year by the Financial Times and a Finalist by Lambda Literary in the United States. He has published four other books of poems, a volume of essays, a collection of zuihitsu, and a hybrid work of fiction titled Snow at 5 PM: Translations of an Insignificant Japanese Poet. Inspector Inspector is his second Carcanet book. Born and raised in Singapore, educated in England, Koh lives in New York City, where he heads the literary non-profit Singapore Unbound.
'The Singapore-born poet's first UK publication is disciplined yet adventurous in form, casual in tone and deeply personal in subject matter. Koh's verse addresses the split inheritance of his postcolonial upbringing , as well as the tension between an emigre's longing for home and rejection of nostalgia' - The Financial Times
