Unremembered Wings performed by Calvin Wong, soprano saxophone and Mo Xu, piano at Riverside Recital Hall, Iowa City, Iowa, 2014. The work was inspired by the poem, "La poesía" by Pablo Neruda.

"...and something started in my soul, 
fever or unremembered wings, 
and I made my own way, 
deciphering 
that fire 
and I wrote the first faint line, 
faint, without substance, pure 
nonsense, 
pure wisdom 
of someone who knows nothing, 
and suddenly I saw 
the heavens 
unfastened 
and open..."
