This Way to the Sugar

The poems in Hieu Minh Nguyen's debut collection are a fearless and brutal dissection of nostalgia, trauma, and desire. The ghosts haunting This Way to the Sugar keep every poem either well fed or drooling, reminding us to "Take this body and see a body, where so many see a grave." These poems don't smell good, but have a nice smile. These poems don't understand why they're still breathing. These poem miss you terribly.
