商品簡介
"What our lives permit us to perceive as givens, Nguyen reveals as mere conditions, inextricably tied to and guided by greater forcesfrom 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
In her first collection since Red Juice: Poems 1998-2008, Nguyen returns to poems of dailiness and raw humanity. Her language hops and skips, vivid with color, in turn political, ecological, funny, spiritual, and tender. As grounded in the earth as in the stars, her poems are reminders of the possibilities of contemplation in every space and moment.

by the improper
names I'm stained
by the world here
To be brave and endure

and be the losing
