Listen, and don’t rush. It is a small room, but there is enough material to keep you occupied for hours at the audio exhibition A Wasteland Of Malaysian Poetry In English at Pentago House in Kuala Lumpur.

The exhibition, which runs until Sept 4, traces the work of pioneering Malaysian poets in English from the 1940s to their legacies in emerging poetic voices today, through a presentation of original, never-before-heard recordings of poetry from figures such as Malachi Edwin Vethamani, Omar Musa, Muhammad Haji Salleh and Wang Gungwu.
