Founded in August 2023 by three Singaporean poets, Kopi Break is an online literary magazine featuring emerging voices in Singaporean poetry. We believe in the incredible poetic talent on this small island, and we’re dedicated to showcasing it to local and international audiences. Join us as we take a sip of one poem every single week: poems to keep you up and get you out of bed. Poems that live loudly and so breathe life into those who read them. Poems that love language like umbrella against monsoon, and poems that stand in the downpour, drenched in gorgeous abandon. Poems that mean something as quick as a kick of caffeine or as long as Friday afternoon shadow. Poems to keep you reading until you reach the dregs. Welcome, dear reader, to your Friday kopi break.
