I was born and raised in Singapore but am currently living in the UK as a final year Philosophy, Politics and Economics undergraduate at the University of Oxford. When I’m not busy stressing over philosophy essays or future jobs, you will probably catch me writing poems on my laptop or getting a good cup of coffee with my friends.
My writing primarily explores queerness and its intersections with disability, race, and gender. I believe that the poem fundamentally is a philosophical argument on what we owe to each other, the emotional and physical labours we have endured and enact on others.
My poems have received recognition at the Magma Poetry Competition, Oxford Poetry Prize, and been awarded First Place in Singapore’s National Poetry Competition. I have been published in various literary journals including Adroit, Ninth Letter, Pleiades, Salt Hill, Cincinnati Review, Oxford Poetry,and Rattle.
