Jerrold Yam's "Intruder" could resonate with you if you've ever felt like a traveler through your own life, searching for connection in a sea of fleeting encounters. His poetry delves into the core of what it means to be young, restless, and in search of meaning across diverse landscapes, both geographical and emotional. The vivid imagery and candid exploration of sensuality, displacement, and the contradictions inherent in seeking intimacy while fearing commitment, make it a compelling read for anyone who's grappled with the transient nature of relationships and self-identity.
