		<description><![CDATA[Chiu Weili The ‘Modernist’ poetry movement started in Singapore in the late 1950s, with key figures such as Chen Ruixian, Du Nanfa etc. Initially viewed as an off-shoot of its Taiwanese counterpart, it soon became an indigenous literary campaign, extending its reach as far as Malaysia.

It was not even known if there was any poetry written by people who lived in Malaya. For myself, poetry was [...]]]></description>
