I am currently a practising social worker at a Family Service Centre. I read Social Work & English at the National University of Singapore.

I write with a belief in what I call ‘vicarious poetics’, which I shall like to elaborate when I find the time to put together a MFA personal application essay.

Briefly, what growing up in Singapore cultivates - at least for me - is memories of imagined natural spaces that are held together vividly (or perhaps loosely when misinterpreted) by words. This is why my poetry recalls not actual spaces, but imagined spaces from an archival of words I read elsewhere… somewhere. Haha. Perhaps, just think Moore’s Poetry with an aesthetic of words.

I write for myself, but it is nice to see some of your works on a journal or e-zine or magazine. I love to experiment with colours, shapes and concepts of duality, trinity, and you get the drift. Indeed, I am a Christian and I despair with God through Word and word.
