This is a selected works from Alvin Pang's previous five collections. Wry and shrewd, the poems promote intelligence and sensitivity. They mock, celebrate and unsettle, are generous and beautiful, full of paradoxes, logic and illogicalica, and are at once recognizably national and international in reach.
The book captures the creative exchange between poets Alvin Pang and George Szirtes during the isolation of the Covid-19 pandemic. As they navigate the challenges of life and time, their correspondence evolves into a poetic dialogue that addresses pressing global issues, including the Black Lives Matter movement, Brexit, and the conflict in Ukraine. Through their friendship and shared experiences, they explore the complexities of the human condition, using language as a means to connect and reflect on a rapidly changing world.
