We are delighted to share videos of two poems from Caleb’s pamphlet The Hoarders which was a winner of the 2023 New Poets Prize and was published earlier this year.
The Hoarders resounds with a subtle and unsettling music which creates its own complex, multilingual logic, even as Leow brings an attentive eye and an inquisitive wit to bear on a wide range of themes both personal and political. These are vivid and evocative poems which bear re-reading, and Leow is clearly a talent to watch.
