The melodic beauty of Bahasa Malaysia poetry, accompanied by the resonating notes of the piano, will be in the spotlight in Merdu Puisi, the inaugural song recital from The Poetics Collective.

The group, which dedicates itself to the promotion and performance of art songs, is a newly formed off-shoot of VerSeS, a Petaling Jaya-based collective of musicians established in 2002.
