Poets spend hours scrutinizing words on the page. In April and May 2021, SAND’s three-part virtual event series “Poetic Vision” will turn our gaze outward through a poem’s lens. How do poets view visual art, science, and film? How can we creatively channel other media in a text that speaks for itself?
The concluding reading of the series, a collaboration between SAND and Sing Lit Station, will intermingle poetic visions. Participants from both the Poetry As__A Lens workshop and April’s annual Singapore Poetry Writing Month (SingPoWriMo) will perform original work that expands poetry’s borders, generated using the prompts from the opening webinar “Poems Meet Visual Art, Science, and Film.”
Based in Berlin, SAND is a nonprofit literary journal published twice a year by a team from the city’s international community. Featuring work by writers, translators, and artists from around the world, SAND seeks out fresh and underrepresented perspectives.
