About
I am Luke Basil Louis Ow, a Singapore-based writer and researcher trained in the humanities. My past work spans academic research, biography, and creative writing, and I am interested in exploring how literature makes sense of the human experience of violence. I have contributed to research projects at NTU, been featured on BBC Radio, and earned recognition at the Global Undergraduate Awards for exploring loss, human connection, and the limitations of medical knowledge.
I am currently pursuing a Master of Arts (Research) in English Literature at Nanyang Technological University, building on a BA (Hons) with Highest Distinction in English Literature. I am passionate about transforming ideas into accessible narratives and collaborating across disciplines to illuminate the past and imagine new futures.
