Synopsis:

In a world order where cultural and racial identities have become politicised, how much say do you have over your own identity, or is it defined by precepts? In a rare triple-bill presentation, three eminent writers, American poet Li-Young Lee, American novelist Xu Xi and Canadian novelist-poet Lydia Kwa, will share personal experiences as well as insights from their works.

This session is made possible with the assistance of the U.S. Embassy Singapore.
