Shades of a Poet: Echoes of You

Thought..

Expression...

Emotion...

Sight of a mind's eye philosophy...

Skin's sensation...

Psyche of a woman, complex to its core...

Unheard call of Heart and Soul...

Shades of a poet,

three different walks of life

but all part of symphonic word hive!

Pindrops within harrowing forest

reverberate echoes far and wide.

What about you…

What echoes will you leave in your unique journey of Life?

Ready for an evening of The Power of Three?

Music and Poetry with a dash of Conversation…

Stephanie Esther Fam, poet of SHADES, will be conducting a meet-the-author session on 3 November 2023 entitled “Shades of a Poet, Echoes of You”. This intimate gathering will feature a dynamic trio of poets, including Stephanie herself, engaging in a lively exchange of poetic ideas with Jennifer Anne Champion, accompanied by Stephanie Dogfoot as the moderator for the conversation.

She has also been called a household name in Singapore spoken word by Tatler Asia and gifted with “swift, animated style” by Juice Magazine. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Jennifer expanded her artistic practice with textiles and music. Self-taught in both respects, Jennifer enjoys translating her poems and the works of her collaborators into new mediums. It is her pleasure and honour to work with Stephanie Fam to breathe new life into her work.
