Shirleyn Lim and Wong Phui Nam is two big name in the world of poetry. Shirley might be well-known because of her novel but Wong Phui Nam is more to poetry. I think both of the have different personality even they were in the same field. Shirley is more outspoken while Whong Phui Nam is more quiet person. This is might be according to their different background that they've both grown up. I do think that Wong Phui Nam is more related to represent we as asian or Malaysian. This is because his poetry review Malaysian culture and represent our heritage. Rather than Shirley, she's more to feminism text and by being half asian and half American has influenced her minded to open a new perspective of literature. Her product is more outspoken and being out of our Malaysian culture. Well, it's just what I think. I don't know whether people agree or not. But, meeting both of them given me chances to know them more closely and interact face to face. It's a good oppurtunity isn't it... ^_^
