kicks off with the final season of Sing
Lit 101: How to Read a Singaporean Poem! This fourth season promises to be
the quirkiest yet as well-loved poet and literary critic Gwee Li Sui gives six
more groundbreaking lectures on Singapore’s English-language verse. He will now
turn the spotlight on a range of voices from the 1990s, some less known today
than others. The focus will bring a radically fresh texture to our sense of a
pivotal decade in Singaporean literature.
As
with previous seasons, six compelling poems will be dissected for what they can
mean and what they reveal about developments in society and culture. If you
want a clear introduction to Singaporean literature or poetry in general, there
is simply no better place to go! Gwee’s lectures are famously accessible,
passionate, and insightful. Regardless of your age or background, you will be
charmed by his textual readings and drawn to the continuing relevance of verse.
