It Takes So Much To Be Nothing: Pomes 2018-2024
“Jack Malik delights in his anxieties of influence, often invoking his poetic ‘godfathers’ from Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and Frank O’Hara, to Salleh Ben Joned and Abdul Ghafar Ibrahim. Yet through the dizzying flights of sense and form, these poems reach for a sense of place—Ipoh, Kangar, Kuala Kubu Bharu, Section 14, Petaling Jaya. Jack Malik’s new poetry collection is a celebration of playful chaos punctuated by moments of ‘satori’, like a prayer uttered on a monsoon night.”
