Tigress

Tigress is a woman coming into her own stripes, claws and heart. Ripping open years of internalised cages to prowl twinkling cities, fi erce lovers, and uncoloured crossroads. But above all, staring into still water and falling for the orange moons staring back. Enter Ayu’s truths. A jungle made majestic. —William Beale, spoken word poet, Author of They Called Us Loud

“The subtlety of Ayu’s words sometimes play a trick on her readers. Smooth and unassuming, but suddenly the warmth of her poetry will embrace you without a warning. The beauty of Tigress lies on how Ayu meticulously crafted her lines word by word with a touch of emotional force. It’s personal but visible and accessible, like a garden at your front yard. Don’t let her gentleness deceive you into thinking that her words are all niceties, though. At unexpected turns, she will bite. After all, she’s a Tigress.” —Pangeran Siahaan, Author & Presenter
