poetry.sg is an educational / critical resource on all things Singaporean poetry, conceptualised and managed by a dedicated team of staffers and volunteers at Sing Lit Station. Launched in 2015 with support from the National Arts Council, poetry.sg is an online database of local poets that comes with an accompanying catalogue of biographies, samples of selected poetry, video recordings and critical essays written by academics and other local writers alike.
We’re excited to release a series of updates pertaining to a group of debut millennial poets from the mid-2010s (who also happen to be part of the founding team running this website!): in addition to Samuel Lee and Jennifer Anne Champion, join us in welcoming the profiles of Amanda Chong, Daryl Lim Wei Jie, David Wong Hsien Ming and Tse Hao Guang to poetry.sg.
In 2000, Marion Shoard theorised the landscape between city and country as deserving of its own geographic category: “edgelands”. Our latest feature, penned by editor Leonard Yip, is an attempt to make visible a nascent tradition of edgeland art in Singapore.
