Poetry is more truly recognizable as voice than as printed words on a page.

The following project brings poetry to listeners in the form of audio recordings in which poets read their own poems.

One CD featuring Singapore poetry in English was recorded and published on behalf of the Department of English Language and Literature, NUS, with support from the Open University Singapore Division in August 1998.

Each of the four poets involved 

EDWIN THUMBOO

ARTHUR YAP

LEE TZU PHENG

LEONG LIEW GEOK

was generous in supporting the project.

The illustrations are based on original oil-paintings by

Dr Ho Chee Lick

______________

A second CD, representing three young voices, is planned for release in November 1999, featuring

ALFIAN SA'AT

ALVIN PANG

ALFIE LEE
