SG Author Series: “The Traveling Poet and The Art of Observation” with Marc Nair

SG Author Series: “The Traveling Poet and The Art of Observation” with Marc Nair

The English writer G.K. Chesterton once wrote, “The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one’s own country as a foreign land”. Join us in this light-hearted dialogue between a poet and his publisher, Marc Nair and Ng Kah Gay of Ethos Books, about encounters with the unexpected. Find out how travel informs Marc’s poetry and photography and how he communicates the foreignness and familiarity of lands faraway.  

Marc Nair is a poet and photographer. He is a recipient of the 2016 Young Artist Award. He has performed spoken word for fifteen years and has represented Singapore in international poetry slam competitions. Marc has published six solo volumes of poetry and has released another four books in collaboration with visual artists, photographers and graphic artists.
