11 X 9: Collaborative Poetry from the Philippines and Singapore

Eleven writers from the Philippines and nine from Singapore—all of whom with a pining for “the composition of alternatives, other realms and planes, and a space upon which another kind of lived experience could be had”—got connected via Google Docs. Seven pairs and two threesomes wrote back and forth toward what could be called “cross-cultural literature". The result is this volume: An encounter with annotated small talk, versified duets, digitally mediated dances, riffs against blackouts, and cryptic/triptych meditations. But what was experienced and what was meant? 

The answer lies within these pages.
