AUP New Poets 11

Memoir, myth and critical theory weave through Xiaole Zhan’ s essay-poem ‘ Arcadiana’ as they explore their Pakeha-Chinese family. Meanwhile, Margo Montes de Oca’ s ‘ intertidal’ combines rich, elemental imagery – water, light, colour – with a world of feeling and poetic homage. In an affecting conclusion, J. A. Vili’ s ‘ Poems Lost During the Void’ pays tribute to family and friends, reaching out beyond grief to show the beautiful intensity of community and connection.
