Reality
- #SingPoOnTheMRT - a poetry reading of MRT poems on a single carriage of the East-West Line traveling from Pasir Ris to Joo Koon
- #SingPoOnTheSideWalks - painting waterproof poems on sidewalks only visible in the rain
- Sing Lit Station - a non-profit organisation to develop writing in Singapore - covering poetry.sg, manuscript bootcamp, singpowrimo, peer-driven writing workshops, and many more programmes previously subsumed under tenyearseries.org, official launch in Jul 16.
- sonnets from the singlish upsize edition - the SLP-winning collection is now double its original size, with 88 sonnets on life, love and language!
- TMG column (Ipster Cafe) - a weekly satirical poetry / light verse column with The Middle Ground.
- singpowrimo anthology series - a collection of the best poetry written in every year's SingPoWriMo. probably the place to look for the best young / new singapore poetry annually. co-edited with Pooja Nansi and Ann Ang (2014); and Jennifer Anne Champion and Daryl Yam (2015)
- a luxury we cannot afford anthology series - a luxury we cannot afford: an anthology about The Man/ everything up to SG50; a luxury we must afford: an anthology about everything after SG50. co-edited with Christine Chia (ALWCA, ALWMA) and Cheryl Julia Lee (ALWMA)
- SingPoWriMo - singapore poetry writing month, an annual event in april where poets commit to writing a poem a day for 30 days on facebook. prompts are provided by moderators, and feedback surfaces from the community. co-moderated with Alvin Pang, Pooja Nansi and the team behind Leit Motif.
- peer-reviewed writing workshops - for published writers (Math Remedial - on hiatus); for new page poets (Image Symbol Department; insert cool name here); for new performance poets (Ministry of Noise); for young poets 16-25 (Burn After Reading); for prose writers (Prose and Cons? - nascent/dormant). supported by The Arts House.
- manuscript bootcamp - intensive therapy for poetry manuscripts from fellow practitioners, academics, and editors. supported by NAC.
- ten year series - an imprint of math paper press, publishing collections that have gone through the rigorous pain of manuscript bootcamp. the first two collections in the imprint, David Wong's "For The End Comes Reaching" and Tse Hao Guang's "Deeds of Light" are launching in 2015. supported by Math Paper Press.
- poetry.sg - a home for singapore poetry - a website archive that gathers poets' bios, biblios, selected works, critical introductions, and recorded videos for the convenience of readers, students and academics alike. where you go to find out about singapore poetry. the two big improvements from previous similar databases are the recorded video archive (poetry in the 21st century!), and the critical intros commissioned for the first 50 poets we're launching with in this year's SWF. supported by NAC.
