Hello again! I’m in Bhopal this weekend (10-11 Oct 2026) for another edition of the Bookaroo Children’s Literature Festival 2026. I’ll also be running two workshops – one on playwriting and one on poetry writing – for young people:

Let’s Write A Play!
Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2026
Time: 12.45pm to 1.30pm
Venue: Auditorium, Bharat Bhavan

What makes a scene come alive? Join playwright Laremy Lee, dream up characters, stir up some drama, write your own scene and bring it to life on stage!

Can You Write What You Can’t See?
Date: Sun, 11 Oct 2026
Time: 11.30am to 12.15pm
Venue: Auditorium, Bharat Bhavan

Poetry helps give a voice to all those thoughts and feelings hiding inside. Bring the invisible to life and turn what you can’t see into a poem with a little help from poet Laremy Lee!

Please swing by Bharat Bhavan to say hi if you’re around or drop me a line if you’d like to connect while I’m here. You can also find the full programme and festival details on the Bookaroo website.

See you then!

General Lee x Laremy Lee: Long Time Coming / Say It Like It Is

Described as a meeting of the minds between North Mississippi hill country blues and Singapore poetry, Long Time Coming x Say It Is Like It Is is one of the earliest collaborations between General Lee and me.

The song by the Singapore-based rock ‘n’ roll band is an observation of the roots of modern poverty and systemic inequality in historical injustice, while my poem responds to these themes through a scathing satire of privilege, addressing anxieties about poverty on different points of the ideological spectrum at the same time.

I will be reprising this work together with DeltaV at our upcoming performance, Singaporeana Blues, this Friday, 28 March 2025 from 7-9.30pm at the Esplanade Outdoor Theatre.

See you then!
