VALEN LIM

Valen Lim was previously a Singapore-based writer and spoken-word poet, but now he’s a bit more of a permanent draft. His poetry has appeared in publications such as The Straits Times, OF ZOOS, Quarterly Literary Review Singapore, various anthologies, and elsewhere, and has received recognition including the Golden Point Award, the Goh Sin Tub Creative Writing Prize, and the Singapore Art Museum Signature Art Prize. Valen used to take himself (and poetry) quite seriously, but nowadays he’s more interested in what happens when you don’t. 67
