Arvin Yonzon, a discerning reader, writer, and astute observer, hails from the enigmatic hills of Darjeeling. Born in Sepoy Dhura, Kurseong, he has long been captivated by the alchemy of language, where thought and expression converge in an intricate dance of meaning.
An erudite bibliophile, his literary compositions demand nuanced interpretation, reflecting his profound engagement with philosophy, aesthetics, optimism, women’s empowerment, and climate change. Deeply influenced by the intellectual acuity of Francis Bacon, the prophetic vision of William Blake, and the lyrical grandeur of Coleridge and Tennyson, his work resonates with a synthesis of poetic introspection and progressive ideation.
Arvin holds a Master’s degree in English literature from St. Joseph’s College, Darjeeling, where he was awarded the prestigious Gold Medal for academic excellence, and presently pursues scholarly research, navigating the boundless terrain of literature and critical inquiry. His debut poetry collection, Arvin’s Atheism, is a contemplative odyssey through love, loss, and the intricacies of individual philosophy—an endeavor that asserts his literary ethos with quiet yet unyielding conviction.
Perpetually oscillating between Kurseong and Darjeeling, he remains immersed in the cadence of the hills, distilling his observations into language, where each word is an invocation, and every silence, a story untold.
