Author Session with Noor Iskandar
About the Session
The final permutation of a three part offerings crossing the Straits of Johor, Iskandar offers a re-reading of his confessional poetry book, I Love Too Quietly at Wardah Books where he began his writing foray. This gathering serves as a kind of retrospective, swan song, doa penutup (closing prayer) to this chapter of his river before he meanders into the next.
The session attempts to weave poetic vignettes surrounding the multitudes of loving with a peak into the contextual undercurrents of this second collection.
