''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," 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). It brings into focus the experience of living with H.I.V. within the homosexual context. 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".
