2021 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST FOR POETRYA collection inspired by Hoaâ?Ts mother, a stunt motorcyclist in an all-woman Vietnamese circus troupe, is verse meditation on Vietnamâ?Ts diaspora. Hoa Nguyenâ?Ts latest collection is a poetic meditation on historical, personal, and cultural pressures pre- and post-â?oFall-of-Saigonâ?? and comprises a verse biography on her mother, Diep Anh Nguyen, a stunt motorcyclist in an all-woman Vietnamese circus troupe. Multilayered, plaintive, and provocative, the poems in A Thousand Times You Lose Your Treasure are alive with archive and inhabit histories. In turns lyrical and unsettling, her poetry sings of language and loss; dialogues with time, myth and place; and communes with past and future ghosts.
