第七届新加坡诗歌比赛优胜奖得主蔡进航的这本中英文双语首部诗集结合了东西方文化差异、在企业辛劳与生活中如何维持对艺术的热忱与钟爱、关于爱与时间的永恒真理, 以及对灵性与永恒的思考。这部激荡而明澈的作品，获国际巨星兼作家 JJ林俊杰 以及多位本地知名诗人如 陈志锐博士、蔡深江老师 等一致赞誉与好评。这些诗歌或沉思或激昂，描绘了肉体与精神、东方与西方、逻辑与情感、未来与过去、现代与古典诗歌之间的对立，让读者的内省之旅变成一种形而上的体验，使时间仿佛凝结成永恒的碎片，平凡化作瞬间的超越。诗集收录七十余对诗作，中英文并行：部分先以中文写就后译成英文，部分则由英文起笔再译为中文，并配以个人书法与影像，展现语言、记忆与灵魂的交织，被视为近年来兼具文学性与跨文化视野的诗歌新声。
 
Winner of the meritorious award at the 7th Singapore National Poetry Contest, David Cai presents his debut bilingual collection of English and Chinese poems, a work that bridges Eastern and Western cultural sensibilities. This stirring and luminous work has garnered glowing reviews from JJ Lin, International Superstar and Author, and many renowned local poets such as Dr. Tan Chee Lay and Mr. Chua Kim Kang. The poems explore how one sustains a passion for art amid the demands of corporate life, the timeless truths of love and time, and reflections on spirituality and eternity. Ranging from the meditative to the impassioned, these verses traverse the boundaries between body and spirit, East and West, logic and emotion, future and past, modern and classical poetics—transforming the reader’s introspection into a metaphysical experience where time seems to crystallise into fragments of eternity, and the ordinary is momentarily transcended. The collection features some seventy paired poems presented in both languages—some originally written in Chinese and translated into English, others conceived in English and rendered into Chinese—accompanied by the poet’s own calligraphy and photography. It offers a rich interplay of language, memory, and soul, and has been regarded as a distinct new voice in contemporary poetry, uniting literary depth with a cross-cultural vision.
