Reading: Cambridge Public Library

Join us for a presentation of A Thousand Times You Lose Your Treasure
hosted by the Cambridge Public Library.

A Thousand Times You Lose Your Treasure (Wave Books, 2021) is a poetic meditation on historical, personal, and cultural pressures pre- and post-“Fall-of-Saigon” with verse biography on the poet's mother, Diệp Anh Nguyễn, a stunt motorcyclist in an all-women Vietnamese circus troupe. Multilayered, plaintive, and provocative, these poems are alive with archive and inhabit histories. By turns lyrical and unsettling, Hoa Nguyen's poetry sings of language and loss; dialogues with time, myth and place; and communes with past and future ghosts.
