This week, I’m taking part in readings and talks and running workshops for Singapore Writers Festival Schools Programme, ‘Words Go Round’. If I have a moment, I’ll check in here to write about it. So far, a real highlight has been reading and speaking with Sri Lankan poet Viviemarie VanderPoorten – today we gave a talk to a group of students taking a ‘Women in Literature’ A-Level paper at National Junior College. Very interesting to think about how/whether issues of gender creep into my writing, and to be challenged to talk about this. Viviemarie is a truly wonderful and inspiring poet. I’m honoured to read with her, and so happy we’ve met.

I’m featured today on 938LIVE Radio today, talking about performance poetry, the Singapore Writers’ Festival Schools Week and reading a poem. It’s a short interview with Felicia Nah on ‘They’re Making A Difference’, a programme about people in Singapore who are, well, making one. I hope I sometimes fit into that category.
If you’re in Singapore, you can listen at 10.45am, 1.45pm or 8.15pm on 938LIVE. If you’re elsewhere, or radio-less, you can listen online by clicking HERE. Enjoy!
