Cyril Wong (born 27 June 1977) is a poet, fictionist and critic.〔(National Arts Council, Singapore )〕 ==Biography== Born in 1977, Cyril Wong attended Saint Patrick's School, Singapore and Temasek Junior College, before completing a doctoral degree in English literature at the National University of Singapore. His poems have appeared in journals around the world, including ''Atlanta Review'', ''Fulcrum'', ''Poetry International'', ''Cimarron Review'', ''Wascana Review'', ''Prairie Schooner'', ''MĀNOA'', ''Dimsum'', ''Asia Literary Review'', ''The Bungeishichoo'' (Japanese translation), ''La traductière'' (French translation) and ''Die Horen'' (German translation).

Cyril was guest editor for ''Gangway (#35 – Travel and Transitioning''), co-editor of the ''Quarterly Literary Review Singapore'', founding editor of poetry webjournal, ''SOFTBLOW'', and a featured poet at the Edinburgh International Book Festival, the Hong Kong International Literary Festival, the Sydney Writers' Festival, and the Singapore Writers' Festival. ''TIME'' magazine (10 December 2007) has written that "his work expands beyond simple sexuality...to embrace themes of love, alienation and human relationships of all kinds."〔(TIME Magazine (Asia Edition) )〕 Upon the banning and pulping of books by Singapore's National Library Board in 2014, Cyril announced his decision in ''TODAY'' to retreat from writing come 2015: "As a queer writer, I think I have reached a limit of some sort, in the light or dark of recent events. I don't know why I'm bothering anymore. By sometime next year, I'm just going to stop; yes, stop publishing, stop working with governmental organisations, even stop writing."
