April 2021 Launch Events
I'm pleased to announce that my latest book, A Thousand Times You Lose Your Treasure, launches on April 6. With lyric narrative, archive, stories of place and ghosts, and the upper limits of song, I evoke my mother’s life as a celebrated motorcycle circus performer who leaves Vietnam with her mixed-race child (me) to never return “home”. I can't wait to share the collection with you. Below are upcoming performances: I hope you can join me. Thank you, always, for your support.
Yours in poetry,
Hoa
