Skipping Stones promises a night of adventure and fun as we explore the latest that Singlit has to offer. Enjoy readings from the latest Singlit collections: a re-release of Wong May’s A Bad Girl’s Book of Animals, the New Singapore Poetries anthology and Nor’s body of work. Of course, there will also be open mic performances by various voices from around Singapore. Join us, too, in playing with the interpretation of poetry as we hear from two very different perspectives of the same text: the poet and the literature teacher.

Held in a private home in Long Island City, Queens, Second Saturdays (March) begins with a potluck, followed by the features Sati Mookherjee and Jim Pascual Agustin. RSVP Jee at jkoh@singaporeunbound.org for directions.

Following January’s subTEXT inspired by the seventh edition of the Singapore Biennale (SB2022) and (very loosely) its theme of “Natasha”, this edition of subTEXT in March marks the closing of SB2022 at Singapore Art Museum (the last day being March 19). In the face of fresh rhythms and reflections on inclusivity, we welcome three poets from the anthology New Singapore Poetries (Gaudy Boy, 2022) and one of the editors involved with Brown is Redacted: Reflecting on Race in Singapore (Ethos Books, 2022).

A journey between politics and ecology, Waking Up to the Pattern Left by a Snail Overnight (April 2023) — winner of the 2022 Gaudy Boy Poetry Book Prize — bursts open the doors of meditation and madness, of nature and human corruption, throwing the sounds and visions of Taylor Swift, Björk, Maria Ressa, Mad Max, Japanese anime, and the Marcos dictatorship into an unpredictable dance filled with moments of silence and wonder.

Gaudy Boy, the publishing arm of the NYC-based literary non-profit Singapore Unbound, publishes poetry, fiction, and literary non-fiction by Asian authors residing in the United States and across the world. Notable recent titles include Amanat: Women’s Writing from Kazakhstan and Picking Off New Shoots Will Not Stop the Spring: Witness Poems and Essays from Burma/Mynamar 1988-2021. At this special event in Folio, publisher Jee Leong Koh will speak about the mission of the press to amplify minoritized voices. Visiting writers Lawrence Lacambra Ypil (Philippines/Singapore) and Jim Pascual Agustin (Philippines/South Africa) will read from their Gaudy Boy Poetry Prize winning books.

Diverse in form, scope and style, Amanat brings together the voices of 13 female Kazakhstani writers, to offer a glimpse into the many lives, stories, and histories of one of the largest countries to emerge from the breakup of the Soviet Union. Meet the editor and translator Shelley Fairweather-Vega.
