Poetry and coffee collided at Ghostbird Coffee in Seputeh late last month, proving that in Kuala Lumpur, cafes aren’t just for caffeine – they’re becoming stages for verse.
Sacred Grounds Volume 2 brought together eight poets – Yashvin Kumar, Jonathan Sim, Chloe Ling, Bethany Luhong Balan, Jack Malik, Samantha Yeoh, Lofrine Layam and The South East Asian Poet – to perform works inspired by four locally roasted brews.
