Summary
What our lives permit us to perceive as givens, Nguyen reveals as mere conditions, inextricably tied to and guided by greater forces - from the economy to the environment, from the Mayan predictions to the menstrual cycle, from the weight… of history to the burden of the future. The poems contain a sense of dis-ease, rupture, things frayed, and grief as love shimmers the edges. As grounded in the earth as in the stars, the poems are reminders of the possibilities of contemplation in every space and moment. 2016. Uniform title: Poems.
