Join poets Jemma Borg and Esther Vincent Xueming for an intimate conversation on how themes of grief, nature, and evolution run through their work.

Within the cycles of nature — life and death, grief and joy — what is the role of the writer?

Chaired by poet, writer, and editor Linda France, this thoughtful cross-pollination of ideas asks why the ecopoet’s compass matters, what happens when inner and outer worlds meet and how writing from a place of presence opens to deeper truths. Featuring close-readings from Vincent’s womb song and Borg’s Wilder.

Supported by the National Arts Council of Singapore
