Root Fractures: Poems by Diana Khoi Nguyen

challenging emotional inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

Such an incredible collection of poetry. In this, Nguyen shows us the moments in time where a family fractures and the lifelong impact those fractures have from generation to generation. This is a collection I urge you to really lean into the format and, if you are able to, read this in physical/digital format. The use of photos, spacing and overlapping text to help tell the story was slightly confusing at first but by the end of the collection, everything clicks. It's beautiful. It's devastating. It's worth it.

Thank you so much to the publisher for the advance reader copy!
