Angela Lim reads "Without Compass," "COMPULSORY," "I find myself jealous of ghosts," and "Tell the Space Enthusiast 'No, Thank You'."

“Poetry is made of metaphor. It is a collision, a collusion, a compression of two unlike things. . . . It is a transfer of energies, a mode of interpenetration, a matter of identity and difference.” — Edward Hirsch
