Seeking An Audience: A Symposium on Singapore Literature in English
Jointly organised by the National Library Singapore and Nanyang Technological University’s Centre of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, this symposium will engage in dialogue representatives from all sectors involved in the production, circulation and reading of Singapore literature, from writers to publishers, booksellers to reviewers, academics to teachers and students. This is a Symposium for all who promote and have an interest in Singapore Literature in English.
Lee Tzu Pheng and Robert Yeo will open the symposium with a dialogue about their experience as writers, recalling the heady days of the sixties when they and the most promising poets/writers of their generation had their beginnings, and who are now established writers with substantial bodies of work. The Symposium will also feature the generation of writers who followed them. The day will end with a cocktail reception featuring a musical performance developed by noted Singaporean playwright Stella Kon, author of Emily of Emerald Hill.
The Symposium is being organised in connection with the launch of an annotated Bibliography of Singapore Literature in English.
