Community creates trust, care and belonging within society, which provides vital support for individuals. The poet, through the breadth of artistic creation, explores and builds on this sense of belonging. Poetry transcends the individual to consider the collective mindset and offer an inclusive space for integration.
Poetry Festival Singapore, formerly known as National Poetry Festival, offers a multilingual, multicultural, multi-generational platform for poets and poetry enthusiasts in the appreciation of the art of poetry in Singapore. Poetry Festival Singapore aims also to develop the written and spoken word in the island’s four official languages and to organize events and activities related to the literary arts.
The 2021 edition returns with an entire slate of digital programmes from 30 Jul to 8 Aug, with poetry workshops, lyrical films, readings and panel discussions, and various prize presentations for a number of ongoing writing competitions. Click on the event links below for more info.
