Alvin Pang is one of five poets to share the dual perspective afforded to his life and writing by links to the Commonwealth.

Poet, editor and writer Alvin Pang loves Singapore. It鈥檚 just that he doesn鈥檛 necessarily want to be in Singapore. He loves it, but the cause for this is a wanderlust and a need for movement which has given him an instinct to push down walls. He explores how the Singapore mindset of the convivial host can set a writer in good stead for a creative life.
