Synopsis
Duy Doan's striking debut reveals the wide resonance of the collection's unassuming title, in poems that explore-now with abundant humor, now with a deeply felt reserve-the ambiguities and tensions that mark our effort to know our histories, our loved ones, and ourselves. These are poems that draw from Doan's experience as a Vietnamese-American while at the same time making a case for-and masterfully playing with-the fluidity of identity, history, and language. Nothing is alien to these poems: the Saigon of a mother's dirge, the footballer Zinedine Zidane, an owl that "talks to his other self in the well"-all have a place in Doan's far-reaching and intimately human art.

Review
"These are intimate, mischievous poems, alternately wry, forthright, vulnerable, winking, and sincere."--Nina MacLaughlin, The Boston Globe
"Refreshingly unshowy, Doan's collection is not an obvious choice for a big prize, but it reveals itself to be a deserving one."--Publishers Weekly
"Bold, bright, yet decidedly unsettled and unsettling, this first collection . . . doesn't so much explore Doan's Vietnamese American experience as defy it."--Library Journal, starred review, Top Spring Poetry
Winner of the 2019 Lamda Literary Awards, Bisexual Poetry category
