Three More Days to the Gaudy Boy Poetry Book Prize Finalists’ Reading! You’re invited to hear Krishan Mistry, Miguel Barretto Garcia, Kenneth Constance Loe, Jim Pascual Agustin, and Marco Yan read from their exciting manuscripts. The reading will take place this upcoming Sunday, September 18th, 10 am ET.

This reading kicks off the 10th season of the Second Saturdays Reading Series. The prize judge Yeow Kai Chai will introduce the readers and announce the prize-winner after the reading. Register for the Zoom link here.

If you’re interested in submitting to the annual Gaudy Boy Poetry Book Prize, this reading is a great opportunity to hear what they like and believe in publishing.

Bonus reading: At NTM, we’re proud to have published last year two excerpts from the groundbreaking anthology Ulirát: The Best Contemporary Stories in Translation from the Philippines published in March 2021 by Gaudy Boy, a press that is doing great work in promoting translations from Asian authors. Congratulations to all the winners!
