Meeting in the Middle: Not Just Fiction: Writing the Climate Crisis with Esther Vincent, Komal Lad and Melissa Low

  • The Moon 37 Mosque Street Singapore, 059515 Singapore (map)

What happens when a poet, an activist and a researcher walk into a bookstore to discuss how we write about the climate crisis?

This edition of Meeting in the Middle focuses on the intersection of writing, advocacy and the climate crisis, featuring Esther Vincent (The Tiger Moth Review), Komal Lad (SG Climate Rally) and Melissa Low (NUS Energy Studies Institute). From interrogating the role of the literary community and books in the climate crisis, to asking how and why we must write about the environment, this conversation is for all writers and readers who want to do more for the climate crisis but don’t know where to start.

Guests will receive a drink from The Moon café, an early preview of Ethos Books’s forthcoming publication Eating Chili Crab in the Anthropocene: Environmental Perspectives on Life in Singapore and a beautiful reading list of essays on literature, advocacy and the environment curated by the panelists.
