Amang is known for her talent in weaving the spoken voice directly into the fabric of
poetry. Rather than relying on classical allusion, she draws strength from everyday
language, inviting readers to listen closely for its subtle intricacies. Her colloquial
phrasing, lifted from life, is a mirror of the moment it was spoken.
In her newest collection, she deepens this practice, turning our everyday soundscape
into verse. The hum of machines, fragments of conversations overheard on the metro,
and shifting textures of the aural urban environment all enter her poetic vocabulary.
What may appear loose or improvisational is shaped by a keen sensitivity to rhythm
and cadence, and always grounded in an internal sense of structure.
Varied line lengths are another hallmark of her work. Line breaks often fall off the
expected beat—like jazz syncopation or the quick recoil of a backhand stroke. It is in
these offbeats that readers find striking, joltingly crisp phrases which create a melody
that feels both spontaneous and carefully composed.
