Root Fractures: Poems by Diana Khoi Nguyen

4.5

So beautiful. This was a book to really study, a more formally innovative version of studying Lucie Brock Broido, which makes sense bc LBB was Diana’s mentor! 

Favorite sets of poems were the Doi Moi series. I loved their were several “types” of poems: cape disappointment, root fracture, misinformation. Love a moment of repetition in poetry, like you keep looking at the same thing thru different sized lenses.  

Last section was my fav.
