Violet Energy Ingots

This collection by Hoa Nguyen was a finalist for the 2017 Griffin Poetry Prize.

Hoa Nguyen

The poems inViolet Energy Ingotscontain 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. (From Wave Books)
