POEMS ON THE MRT
A WEB ANTHOLOGY OF MRT STATION POETRY, WRITTEN IN 24 HOURS
Join us for SingPoOnTheMRT, 4th June, 2pm at Pasir Ris Station!
Write a poem every day, for 30 days. That's the core challenge of SingPoWriMo, a rapidly-growing Facebook group that gathers the wildest, the zaniest, and the most masochistic Singapore poets to surmount 30 mind-boggling prompts by a team of sadistic moderators that includes published poets like Alvin Pang, Pooja Nansi, and Joshua Ip.
On Day 24 of SingPoWriMo 2016, Joshua Ip posted the Last Train Prompt: a prompt that challenged poets all over Singapore to write poems about their chosen MRT station. This interactive MRT map (powered by Thinglink) is the 24-hour result of these enthusiastic, rioting bards.
