As Hollywood rom-com has it, writing love poetry to your beloved is an aphrodisiac.

Err no. Not in Felix Cheong’s experience. The award-winning writer of 22 books has penned dozens of love poems to friends and wives (yes, plural). A few poems were even featured in Love Poetry (2004), a telemovie starring Janice Koh and Keegan Kang. But none of them has managed to woo and win a woman.

In this chat, Felix will take a stab at Hollywood stereotypes about writers. He will also open up about how his afternoon trips to a strip club in Brisbane had raised his writing (only the writing, nothing else) to a new height.
