Yesterday, we launched Waves Rising: Collected Works of Ho Poh Fun & Responses on the upper floor of an East Coast shophouse in Singapore. The volume contains Ho's prescient (also out of print) work on climate change and women's identities in 1980s Singapore + new critical and creative responses 1/2

Announcing: Waves Rising. Containing not just the complete text of Katong & Other Poems by Ho Poh Fun, but also her rarely-read feminist and eco-conscious fiction published in Singa in the 1980s. Editing this volume was an honour because it includes critical & creative responses to her oeuvre.
