In Bernice Chauly's fearless new collection of poetry, the world succumbs to climate change and sectarian politics, while a woman fights to hold back the inexorable erosions of body, heart and spirit. A candid and clear-eyed gaze from the brink of life's abyss, Incantations/Incarcerations is powerful, erotic, uncompromising and necessary verse.
Alvin Pang's latest title, Uninterrupted Time, is his most technically inventive and yet most intimate work to date. Pang reaches for a fluid language equal to the insistent and at times devastating transitions that take place when the mortal frame encounters other lives, other bodies – as well as its own unravelling.
Join two seasoned poets of international standing, as they read new poems and discuss the remarkable resonances and cross-currents in their latest works for the very first time.
