So much loss and hurt here. Felt like a desperate reach for understanding across a wide chasm of mis/lack of communication. Not poems to recount the things an author wishes they could say but the things they wish a reader (a specific reader) could hear. I definitely feel like much of this collection was beyond me but the poems are worth digging into. Especially as Nguyen plays with form and white space, I read those poems again and again.
