Deadline: 26 March 2011
Join us for the book launch of "Man/Born/Free: Writings on the Human Spirit from Singapore" edited by Gwee Li Sui, featuring the works of 27 Singaporean writers and poets.
This literary anthology – centred on the travails of the human spirit – is like none other published in Singapore. It testifies to the social reflections of generations of Singaporean writers and their inquiries into issues of freedom, equality, humanity, and hope. The selection brings together works originally written in English, Chinese, Malay,and Tamil across almost six decades of Singaporean life. They are arranged here in a compelling way that argues for the inevitable interconnections of these concerns.
"Man/Born/Free" is an exciting initiative to commemorate the relationship between Singapore and South Africa as extended through the 2011 event, Spotlight Singapore in Cape Town.
Poems and prose featured in this book include works by:
Abdul Ghani Hamid - Aflian Sa'at - Amiroudine - Anuar Othman - Boey Kim Cheng - Elangovan - Isa Kamari - Johar Buang - Gilbert Koh - Goh Poh Seng - Gwee Li Sui - Kadayanallur Jameela - Aaron Lee - Lee Tzu Pheng - Catherine Lim - David Leo - Masrui S.N. - Mohamed Latiff Bin Mohamed - Ng Yi-Sheng - Alvin Pang - James Puthucheary - Said Zahari - Kirpal Singh - Tan Jing Quee - Edwin Thumboo - Ting Keng Siong - Yeng Pway Ngon.
