What Happened: Poems 1997-2017 Reviews
-
Alvin Pang is a sublime writer. He describes space as “not blankness, but an exhibition.“ ln just five words, he turned empty space into a vector, capable of radiating outward. If you need a detox from an overdose of Insta-poetry, this collection is the perfect antidote. The poems are rich in substance, full of meaning. He heightens tension without resorting to melodrama. Mundane subjects like ‘Rain’, ‘Distance’ and ‘Friction’ are written into touching odes, leaving you in a state of pensiveness. Heck, even existentialism.
The writer is such a prolific author from Singapore’s Generation X. I’m grateful that Math Paper Press archived his growth as a poet (hence tree rings on the cover, I guess.) A must-read for any #SingLit reader! -
Wow, I seriously need to get more into Singapore lit cause I’m missing out.
