Speakeasy #25: Valentine's Edition

February 13, 2016 in #SGLit, Singapore

Speakeasy #25 was held on 12 Feb 2016 at Artistry in front of a warm and boisterous (now paying but its worth it) audience and featured a range of traditional, pop, contemporary, queer, and #SGLit poetry selected by the following talented poets/writers/impresarios/wannabe Lotharios/flaneurs/etc.

  • Jennifer Champion: Kiki Dimoula's "Diabolical Coincidence", Andrea Gibson's "Love Poem"
  • Stephanie Ye: Carol Ann Duffy's "Death of a Teacher", Eric Low's "An Assumption of Light and Motion" and Hemingway killing a beloved cat
  • Sean Tobin: Cyril Wong's "Zero Child Policy" and Yong Shu Hoong
  • Joshua Ip: Ann Ang's "Valentine for your Hair", Benzie Dio's "Stamford road" and Cheryl Julia Lee's "How We Make Love"
  • Jason Wee: Carl Phillips and Sean Tobin 
  • Mrigaa Sethi: Audre Lorde, Joan Larkin and other lesbian poets
  • David Wong: Jack Herbert, Ruth Stone and Yousuf Komunyakaa
  • Richard Angus Whitehead: a Shakespeare sonnet, Chaucer's Squire and Bob Dylan introduced by tales of dubious antics from 1978 Cambridge
  • Christine Chia: Cyril Wong Boats, Elisabeth Jennings, Elisabeth Bishop and others
  • Verena Tay: a Shakespearen sonnet, John Donne & a very sassy, The Owl & The Pussycat
  • Lucas Ho: 14 year old Charlotte and Thom Gunn
  • Becca D’Bus: as ever delicious and decadent, argued with herself over the boy being mine, and told us very clearly that children are our future.
