Three Poems by Alvin Pang
FEATUREDIn these bold, unflinching poems, Alvin Pang probes the unstable terrain between memory and forgetting, presence and erasure. His poetry navigates the quiet vastness of the northern landscape, the charged intimacy of touch, and the fragile residue of fleeting encounters, challenging how we hold onto what can barely be named.
