'Two poets of different cultures and generations have come together to converse through poetry on the various themes, such as: grief, equality and age. The chapter title ‘A cup of tea for Dad and Me’ symbolises two things. One, ‘a cup of tea’ represents shared moment, shared knowledge or shared understandings. It reflects our dialogues and conversations which occurred in the form of poetry; poems and response poems are tools for building shared understandings and co-creating new meanings. Meanwhile, ‘for Dad and Me’ refers to intergenerational views and understandings towards aspects of life, which represents both poets’ points of view coming from two different generations (a woman in her 30s and a man in his 60s).'
