Rhiannon
Ng

Rhiannon Ng Cheng Hin was born in Scotland and raised in Quebec. Her poetry has appeared in journals and anthologies such as PRISM International, Arc Poetry Magazine, Gutter, and Lake Effect. She previously studied sociology and life sciences and is currently completing an MSc in biology. She was selected by Liz Howard as the recipient of the Writers' Trust Mentorship in poetry in 2020.

Ng's current project, "Pulses on Expired Water Cycles," is a collection of poems that explores topics of genealogy, emigration, and the ever-enduring process of finding grace and identity within conflicting and at times ambiguous histories. Inspired by her experience growing up as a Euro-Mauritian woman in Canada, it draws upon sub-themes of sexuality, matriarchy, and natural sciences to explore the struggle of wanting to honour family histories that feel distant.
