Alfian Sa’at
Alfian Sa’at’s One Fierce Hour is a good read.
I came across this poetry collection while browsing through Borders, and I picked up a copy. It was written some years back, when Alfian was only 21 years old. The poems contain a very authentic representation of life in Singapore. I enjoyed reading through the collection, and am currently reading up more about Alfian Sa’at. I’ve put it high on my list to make sure and catch one of the plays he’s written in performance.
I’ve emailed Alfian, and just got a reply from him about poetry in Singapore. It was good to have contact with him, and to find out more about the poetry scene that he is a part of.
