'Never stop creating': Author Q&A with Jessie J'ng

31/3/2020

Who are you?
My name is Jessie and a Malaysian-Chinese dancer, choreographer, and writer based in London.

What do you do when you’re not writing?
I’m either in the studio dancing and rehearsing or at home with my cats!

Why do you write?
Writing has always been attached to my identity- whether from young when I was writing diaries, to harnessing writing in both my choreographic practice and creative projects, and to being a poet- writing is tied to my being.

How did you come up with the idea for Manuscripts of the Mind?
Long story short, it all started when I tasked myself to write 100 poems back in 2016! Up until then, I never finished a manuscript, and I was determined to finally visualise my mind onto paper, in a complete form.

Why did you choose that title?
Initially, the book was going to be titled ‘Hiatus’ however, when I was taking a step back and looking at the book, I realised that these writings are all pieces that make up my mind, and I’ve decided then, to title it as so.

Where is your favourite place?
Home!

How often do you write?
I literally write everyday - from the digital space to manuscripts, to academic literature, I am constantly writing.

What inspires you?
Life and everything in between. From the mundane to the eventful, everything is an inspiration.

What is your favourite book? Recently or of all time.
One book that had stuck with me all these years is a book I read when I was a teenager, Lesley Pearse’s “Till We Meet Again.” My current favourite is John Berger’s “Ways of Seeing.”

Do you have a favourite word?
Exaggeration - it was the first ‘difficult’ word my mother taught me when I was a child!

Do you have a favourite quote?
“This too shall pass.”

How important is reading and literature to you?
Extremely important - without it, I don’t think I can be the artist in dance and in writing I am right now.

Tell us the main message behind your publication or the reason why you wrote it? 

Throughout the development of the manuscript, it became evident there was an underlying meaning and purpose. It was a telling story of the mind, and with inspiration from the movie, ‘Touched With Fire’, I wanted to choreograph the pieces into a journey - the hills and the valleys of the mind, and everything in between.

Are you writing anything now?
Yes :) This is the beginning of a world of manuscripts from me!

Is there anything you’d like to say to your readers?
You need only your mind, your heart, and your will to create. Never stop creating.

Get the poetry collection here or on Amazon.

A REVIEW OF THE GIFT OF FORESIGHT BY RAVEN KNOX
​
by JUPITER HADLEY
Picture

Following the story of a dysfunctional, broken family torn apart by social class and miscommunication but held together by the love of their daughter, The Gift of Foresight tells the tale of a child called Harriet, who lost her vision.

Losing her vision isn’t the biggest topic in the book, at first anyway. Instead, there is a large focus on family dynamics. Her parents, like many families dotted around the world, have divorced and the breakup wasn’t easy on anyone. Both parents are still hopelessly in love with each other, but for numerous reasons cannot seem to get back together, despite the love for each other and ultimately, for their daughter only daughter.

The Gift of Foresight highlights how miscommunication and the family one is born into can heavily affect upbringing and outlooks on life. The two parents are far from similar in the way that they were raised; Will the father is from a family of wealth while Alyss the mother is from a military family, always getting scholarships to make ends meet. Between their families previously having issues with the relationship and the horrible way it ended, there is a lot of turmoil to unpack between these two families and their friends.

In the middle of the fights, disagreements, and very different upbringings is a child who’s lost her sight. She’s grown up with a broken influence of both her parents, watching much of the fighting and downward spirals, which ultimately affects how she feels and acts in the world. Between fears that others have placed on her and conversations that never were fully had, she spends a lot of the story trying to piece together her mother and father, as she is missing more details than a child should have. Her curiosity for what had happened between her parents and why they fell in love in the first place really drives the narrative as you uncover, along with her, a pretty twisting and turning path of miscommunication.

The Gift of Foresight skips around her life, starting off when she is five, but quickly changing to fifteen - the majority of the book takes place around here, before going back to moments before she was even born, then returning to her sixteenth birthday and beyond. The way that the story around her parents grows and falls, it always feels like something major is about to happen - and often something unexpected happens instead. Their story is estranged, captivating, and ever-changing as new things are discovered and new characters are put in. Just when you think everything is lost or everything has settled, something else happens to switch things up. It’s a book that keeps you on edge, despite the amount of issues that are present in everyone’s life, as you just hope for some sort of resolve.
​

If you’re looking for a story full of love, loss, adults trying to figure out how to be adults despite being almost in their 40s for most of the book, and a sassy child who just wants to understand and see the world around her, this is a book not to be missed.

"Harriet is my favourite character. She’s strong and determined. She wants her mum and dad back together and will try anything. You read about her thoughts as a teen with crushes on boys and how she goes to a regular school as she wants to be the same as others."
