Beachlight by Cyril Wong is a profound and sustained poem that interweaves the mystical, the ecstatic, and our intrinsic connection to nature. Set against the backdrop of a walk along a Singaporean beach, the poem lends voice to the anonymous, those lost and forgotten, drawing a meditation that bridges ecological awareness with themes of desire, the sexual, and the homoerotic. Through this evocative journey, the poem invites readers to rediscover our primordial bonds with the natural world and with each other.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A profound poem on the mystical and the ecstatic and about our connection with nature.

Beachlight is a sustained poem divided into smaller parts that take on the anonymous voices of those lost and forgotten. A walk along a Singaporean beach transforms into a meditation that bridges an ecological consciousness to the sexual and the homoerotic.

The poems in Beachlight expose revelations about the nature of desire, inviting readers to walk beside—and inside—them, reminding us of what we gain when we abandon ourselves to nature and exhorting us to reclaim our primordial connections to the world and to one another.
