๐ฃ Donโt forget, the Mental Health Awareness & Wellbeing Festival presented by Migrant Writers of Singapore and supported by Sing Lit Station is happening on 9 October!
๐๐ข๐ถ๐จ๐ฉ๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ช๐ด ๐๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ช๐ค๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ: Humour can be a powerful tool to hold space for difficult conversations while easing tension. Similarly poetry plays with words to draw out many meanings from a single line. In this reading, poets draw from a common attitude of play found in both poetry and humour to look at situations from a different perspective and empower a greater sense of control. As conversations around mental health tend to focus on negatives and difficulty, how can we instead look towards humour to strengthen our resilience? ๐ฌ

A man learns that all the animals at the Zoo are robots. A secret terminal in Changi Airport caters to the gods. A prince falls in love with a crocodile. A concubine is lost in time. The island of Singapore disappears. ๐ค๐๐ธ These are the unique tales of ๐๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐๐ช๐ต๐บ, the first collection of short fiction by award-winning poet and playwright Ng Yi-Sheng. Infused with myth, magical realism and sci-fi, each of these tales invites the reader to see our home in a new and fantastical light. ๐โจ
