Book Launch for "Get Luckier - An Anthology of Philippine and Singapore Writings II"! Online book sales will be ongoing until 30 August 2022 or while stock lasts.At the Singapore Writers Festival in 2015, Get Lucky: An Anthology of Philippine and Singapore Writings was launched to a full house, instantly becoming one of the bestsellers of the festival. In 2019, Get Lucky celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the two countries’ diplomatic ties through a joint event with the National Library Board and the Philippine Embassy in Singapore. While it might be easy to count attendance and tally cross-events, what’s immeasurable is Get Lucky’s contribution in giving space to emerging poets and writers from across different sectors and fostering friendship between Filipinos and Singaporeans. It has been six years since Get Lucky. We have seen how technology has disrupted us at practically every touch point throughout the day. And we have often wondered how it will impact us and our fellowships in the next fifty years.This led us to contemplate a sequel to the much-loved original. We regrouped, shared each other’s ideas, set up more meetings, fittingly at one of the Big Techs’ regional headquarters. Thus was born Get Lucky 2.0 or simply, Get Luckier in ten chapters with themes of Love, Places and Memory continue from the two chapters similarly titled in Get Lucky.We would like to formally thank our supporters, who have helped the publication of Get Luckier - An Anthology of Philippine and Singapore Writings II become possible.
