AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'In late 2020, I casually asked Alvin Pang—newly graduated with a PhD in Creative Writing—if he might now have the time and willingness to guest edit the poetry for an issue of Rabbit. Based in Singapore, Alvin would be our first international poetry editor. He wrote back immediately to accept, and proposed ‘Asia’ as the theme. I shouldn’t have been surprised by this proposal—such an ambitious theme captured something of Alvin’s general approach to poetry: wide-ranging, provocative and generous. Asia-as-theme is a conundrum, irreducible and boundary-less as a poem itself.' (Jessica L Wilkinson: Editorial introduction)
