Book launch: In The Mirror: New and Selected Works of Wong Phui Nam

In the Mirror is an essential collection of poems and critical writing from foundational Malaysian poet
and literary critic Wong Phui Nam. It includes unpublished, unread poems from the final years of his life (1935-2022).

Wong Phui Nam was part of the first generation of Malayan writers and poets in the 1960s who wrote
and published literary work in English. He was a literary columnist for the New Straits Times and served as a judge for various literary prizes, representing Malaysia on the world stage.

Join co-editors Brandon K. Liew and Daryl Lim Wei Jie, who worked closely with Wong, for a discussion
on literary legacies, tradition, and the future of poetry in English.

Speakers: Brandon K. Liew, Daryl Lim Wei Jie
