Tilting Our Plates to Catch the Light is a poetry collection by the Singaporean poet Cyril Wong about "two lovers who are in the process of losing each other,"[1] bringing into play his background in music, intermingling the lives of gay male-partners with the tribulations of lovers distant and near, including the romance between "two shape-shifting Hindu deities", Shiva and Mohini (the female-incarnation of Vishnu).[2] It brings into focus the experience of living with H.I.V. within the homosexual context.[3] The book was chosen by The Straits Times as among the best five books of 2007 and described by the reviewer as "a luminous symphony".[4]
