Join some of the 2014 Singapore Literature Prize shortlisted authors in the categories of English Fiction and English Poetry! Amazing writers and poets Grace Chia, Yong Shu Hoong, and Audrey Chin will also read excerpts from their works and take part in a panel discussion on their shortlisted works and their writing journeys.

Presented by National Book Development Council of Singapore and The Arts House

How is poetry different across our four official languages? How is it the same? Do poets in different languages seek the same truths, or are they as distinct as the idiom they write in? 

Join us as the shortlisted Singapore Literature Prize poets from across the official languages, Grace Chia, Tan Chee Lay, Krishnamurthi Mathangi try to answer these and many more poetic questions. The session will be moderated by Felix Cheong. 

Date: 19 October 2014 (Saturday)
Time: 3.00pm - 5.00pm
Venue: Living Room, The Arts House

The event ends with an autograph session and some one-on-one time with the authors!
