Want to write, but not sure how to start? Or stuck in a rut with your writing? This masterclass with Verena Tay will help you perceive the world in a new fashion, fuel your creativity and give impetus to new writing. This hands-on session will encourage you to explore objects and the surrounding environment through movement, sight, sound, touch, smell and taste. Drawing inspiration from these stimuli, you will embark on various writing exercises. Finally, you will receive feedback on what you have written and how you can further develop your text/s beyond the workshop. Whether you are a new or seasoned writer, Jumpstart will spur you to write stories or poems infused with unexpected textures that will grab the imagination of your readers. This masterclass is open to both new and experienced writers writing in fiction and nonfiction. Please note that participants will be required to move about. Activities will be non-strenuous, but require you to be fairly mobile. 📆 Date: 13 June 2026, Saturday 🕒 Time: 1pm - 4pm 📍 Location: Sing Lit Station, 22 Dickson Road #02-01, Singapore 209506 🎟 General Admission: $60 🎓 Student Concession: $35 (with valid student ID) Limited seats available. 🔗 Tickets: jumpstartwriting.peatix.com (link in bio) 𝘚𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘐𝘋.

Everyone needs an eye break from our screens, even in commute. So why not look up and around at the Poems on the MRT when you’re taking the trains? Three people did and they were totally inspired and touched by the words of Singapore’s poets. We’ve always known the power of the written word and maybe it’s time that you discover that too. Maybe you’d have no choice but to start stanning it 👀 Read what these commuters felt when they glanced upon these reflections of Singapore in our link in bio 🔗 #PoemsontheMRT #SingLit #OurSGArts #CatchSG #LifeBetterWithTheArts

Hear others do the same, and walk away with new reading recs and writing inspiration! 📖 Poetry Glazers: a monthly appreciation night 📆 Thursday, 21 May 2026 | 7:30-9:30pm 📍 Sing Lit Station, 22 Dickson Rd, #02-01, Singapore 209506 RSVP required: poetryglazersmay26.peatix.com (link in bio) This event is free, but if you could, an at-the-door donation (suggested: $8 for working adults / $2 for students) would cover our snacks and aircon, and help us continue to put out regular programmes on Thursdays beyond! #SingLitThursdays #PoetryGlazers #SingLit

Fresh off the press! Samuel Lee’s 𝘼 𝙁𝙞𝙚𝙡𝙙 𝙂𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙎𝙪𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙚𝙩𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙎𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙚 returns—an award-winning collection that reimagines everyday aisles into something stranger and more expansive. Join us in celebrating its return as part of AFTERIMAGE’s RENDITIONS series 🛒🌿 📅 4 June, Thu, 7-8pm 📍 Book Bar (57 Duxton Rd) 🔗 Free with registration: <afieldguide.peatix.com> #singlit #poetry

🌿 𝘼 𝙁𝙞𝙚𝙡𝙙 𝙂𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙎𝙪𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙚𝙩𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙎𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙚 Poems by Samuel Lee Last published in 2016, AFTERIMAGE is proud to restore to circulation Samuel Lee’s 𝘼 𝙁𝙞𝙚𝙡𝙙 𝙂𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙎𝙪𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙚𝙩𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙎𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙚 as part of its RENDITIONS series, committed to preserving and reintroducing culturally defining works. A 19th century reference book (philology? anthropology? art history? nobody remembers) that fell into a tropical swamp and was rescued, then restored by a kind woman in curlers. Caked in time and organic residue too dense to scrub off, its pages reveal a city of private sorrows—minute, expansive, and strangely familiar. To read it is to get lost in the aisles of millennia. Winner of the 2018 Singapore Literature Prize (Poetry in English), 𝘼 𝙁𝙞𝙚𝙡𝙙 𝙂𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙎𝙪𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙚𝙩𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙎𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙚 is for those who have ever wandered too far down an aisle and come back altered. Publishing 29 May 2026. For more updates, return to this pinned post or visit our website: <afterimage.press>

They’re back. We have entered our resurrection era. Introducing AFTERIMAGE’s 2026 line-up of reprints under our RENDITIONS series, dedicated to preserving and reintroducing culturally defining works. #singlit #poetry
