Deadline: 12 June 2011
Migrants are “the socially and culturally defined other and depicted as the outsider, the foreigner, deviant from the norm, and positioned as marginal.” Eric Tinsay Valles's poetry collection A World in Transit offers different ways of looking and voicing the experiences of self and others. Otherness opens up new possibilities for the use of language, imagery and poetic forms.
Listen to Eric Tinsay Valles as he reads poems from A World in Transit at 11am at the Hong Lim Park stage. Palanca award-winning fiction writer Noelle de Jesus-Chua will deliver an address before the poetry reading.
Appreciate and write poetry in a workshop that Eric will facilitate from 2 to 3:30pm at a function room behind the Hong Lim Park stage.
These events are organized by the UP Alumni Association (Singapore) for the 2011 Philippine Independence Day Celebration.
