Abstract
"The interview starts with Abdul Ghani's early years as a poet while schooling, to managing his aspirations while being gainfully employed in the Singapore Civil Service. He narrates the influence of his poetry on his art and vice versa, with a discussion of the common themes and metaphors that appear in his poetry, his works in prose, and poem written in English. The video concludes with a reading of excerpts from Seni Sejagat Kita, representing his views on the Eastern Art and its place in the art world in general"--Container.
