CHAMPA HA
Champa (she/they) started writing poetry to get people to pay attention to her. However, now people are actually listening to what they have to say and it's mostly about what it means to be neurodivergent, obsessed with pop culture, and living in a cut-throat world like Singapore. Even they are feeling a little cringe about it. Ah well.
AVERYL FONG
Averyl Fong is a writer with a penchant for the weird and wonderful. She’s a lover of all kinds of fiction, especially works with a speculative or fantastical bent. An avid enjoyer of poetry and drama, she completed her BA in Drama & Theatre at the University of Birmingham in the UK.
After several years in writing and entertainment journalism, she is currently based in Singapore, and keen to write about anything that catches her fancy. This can include (but are not limited to) eldritch oddities that drip at night, the intersections of art and food in war, politics, and everyday living, as well as speculative maybes and mythological what-ifs.
She is working on her first poetry collection zine with Atelier Arcadia, set to release in 2027.
You can find her on Substack at Averyl’s Cabinet of Curiosities (averylfong.substack.com), and Instagram at @averyyyyl (four Ys!) and @averylfong.
JARYL GEORGE SOLOMON
Jaryl George Solomon strives to use his poetry, essays and plays to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable. His works often dabble on the bigness, brownness and queerness of his body, with an occasional splash of the weird and paranormal. Jaryl is also the co-founder and poetry editor of Mahogany Journal, an online literary journal platforming +65 South Asian voices. Currently, Jaryl is fighting for his life as he pursues his Master’s in Creative Writing, focusing on monster theory and hybrid texts.
