Diaphanous

For over a decade, international poets Alvin Pang (Singapore) and George Szirtes (UK) have met time and again-as friends and fellow wordsmiths on page and stage-until the Covid-19 pandemic struck. Confined to different sides of the globe, they began to write poems back and forth in response to one another. Reflecting on the circumstances in which we find ourselves living, the two poets dance in language through questions of life and time, with the world teetering from Covid through Black Lives Matters and Brexit to the Ukraine conflict.
