"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." --Michael Brodeur, The Boston Globe The
poems in Violet Energy Ingots contain a sense of dis-ease, rupture,
things frayed, and grief--as love shimmers the edges. Ryo Yamaguchi
describes Nguyen's writing as "a kind of stuttering with
intelligences, impressions, and emotions flaring up as the words
find their pathways." As grounded in the earth as in the stars, her
poems are reminders of the possibilities of contemplation in every
space and moment. A Brief History of War And what if Jupiter is
your faith a balloon but I call you by the improper names I'm
stained by the world here To be brave and endure the losing To be
brave and be the losing Luck Brutal Born in the Mekong Delta and
raised in the Washington, DC area, Hoa Nguyen studied Poetics at
New College of California in San Francisco. With the poet Dale
Smith, Nguyen founded Skanky Possum, a poetry journal and book
imprint in Austin, TX, their home for fourteen years. She is the
author of several poetry collections, most recently Red Juice:
Poems 1998-2008 and As Long as Trees Last. She lives in Toronto,
Ontario where she curates a reading series and teaches poetics
privately and at Ryerson University.
