Pandan Weekly’s second issue is here! In it, you’ll find poetry about forgotten misfits; the complexity of human history and faith; appreciating a new place in one’s terms; feeling a disconnect with one’s hometown; the kindness of trees; the fate of eldest daughters; confronting intergenerational trauma—and more; and prose pieces about the struggles of living independently; suppressed mother tongues; the love and heartbreak of a mermaid; family ties rocked by grief and unmet expectations; dreaming with someone with a disability; the magic of art to bring people together—and more.
