Chien Swee-Teng Interview (August ??, Issue 6)

FK: In your poem Humanity you describe the relationship between Man and Nature as antipodal. But do you think there is any way of attaining a harmonious relationship between the two categories?

VT: Your question sounds too spiritual... [laugh] This is surely beyond me. As a matter of fact, I am not really interested in finding or suggesting a solution to all the woes of the world. Humanity should be simply read as an extended exclamation or a badly pruned question mark... a full-stop we could not decide where to place between the sentences.
