Very Late Updates but

SingPoWriMo 2020 - I finished 30/30 poems for the first time ever. The list is up here along with self-inserted comments on whether or not I should revisit the poem.

I’m also incredibly honoured to have been contacted back in April by Justin Lacour, the editor for Trampoline Magazine, to submit some poems. I read through Issue 1 and was really floored by the poems there and of course happily submitted some of my own. A couple of them were admitted to Issue 2 (Look for 2.3). They’re currently on the front page of the site but will be moved when the next set of poems are featured.

My book was also featured recently on the Sing Lit Station’s #StayHomeStayLit2020 campaign. SLS is doing this wonderful feature linking up photographers and artists with a local literature book that they enjoy. I was fortunate enough that the very talented photographer Li Wanjie (@uuanjie) took interest in my book and created this beautiful image inspired by it. I had come across some of his photos years ago and was really taken by the surreal fey quality in them, and am really glad that we’ve gotten to meet this way.

I am trying still to write regularly. There is so much going on now, and even though I am barely leaving the house stillness feels impossible. How does one begin to make sense of everything happening now, let alone attempt to write something profound about it?
