SWF 2

just a quick addendum for another event that popped up:

Ku●lit: Asian Literature for the Language Classroom

When: Thu 7 Nov 830-930pm
Where: Festival Pavilion, Campus Green, SMU
Who: Panel including Robert Yeo and Joshua Ip moderated by Dennis Yeo
What: “Ku●lit” is derivative of “wayang kulit” (Indonesian shadow puppet theatre), so we may be inclined to think that the word means “shadow” even though it actually refers to “skin”, or the leather used for the puppets. Likewise, words are shadows cast by reality, representing and manifesting what lies beyond their meanings. Find out how Ku●lit, a joint publication between NAC and Pearson Education South Asia, can stoke interest in the “cool lit” of Singapore and our Asian neighbours so that literature remains relevant in the study of the English language.

also, have put up a new cover for the webpage, very sexily designed by the team at sarah & schooling! will figure out how to get both up there at some point. there's also a new REDDDD cover for the second edition of sonnets from the singlish, with new exciting heads by shellen from math paper press. more info on how to buy all these exciting things soon.
